Ukraine's Call to the EU: Allow us to use the donated weapons to defend against Russia
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has called on the EU to lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons against Russia. Ukraine's cross-border operation into southern Russia is the largest attack launched by Ukraine against Russia since World War II, and the first offensive led by the Ukrainian army.
Moscow has increased its attacks on Ukraine with drones and missiles, aiming to destroy Ukraine's electricity system. Germany and the US have expressed concerns about Ukrainian attacks on Russian targets, while the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell supports Ukraine's request.
The Biden administration and the UK are hesitant to provide long-range ballistic missiles, fearing an escalation of the conflict. The EU has promised 39 billion euros in military aid to Ukraine and has also sent 1.5 million euros from Russian central bank assets to Ukraine.
The EU and member states plan to train 60,000 Ukrainian soldiers, with Germany committing to training 10,000. The situation has sparked a debate about the war in Gaza and Russia's aggression.
Ukrainian officials aim to meet with US Defense Secretary to seek permission for attacks on Russia. Putin, viewing Europe's capitals as potential targets, may consider invading other countries if the US continues to support Ukraine with long-range missiles.
