NATO's Consideration of Allowing Ukraine to Use Western Weapons in Russia

NATO countries are deliberating on permitting Ukraine to deploy Western weapons on Russian soil, with support from the Parliamentary Assembly and Secretary-General Stoltenberg emphasizing assistance to Ukraine. Despite Moscow's condemnation, 24 NATO countries are willing to remove restrictions on the use of Western weapons against legitimate targets in Russia to aid Ukraine.

Defense experts urge the lifting of restrictions, highlighting that Putin exploits these limitations, as France contemplates sending military trainers to Ukraine. Additionally, discussions on a proposed €100 billion fund for Ukraine by NATO ministers and Ukrainian President Zelensky's calls to Western allies to pressure Russia to participate in peace talks further underline the ongoing debate and developments surrounding Ukraine's use of Western weapons.
