Ukraine has received permission from the West to hit Russian territory

Ukraine has already received weapons from some foreign partners, as well as permission to use them to strike Russian territory.

This was stated by the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, Baiba Braže, in an interview with European Pravda.

The official recalled that until now Ukraine has received weapons from Western allies with a mandatory public warning not to use them outside the country. But, according to Braže, this approach can change, and moreover, it is already changing.

"There are already countries that have already provided Ukraine with weapons without such restrictions," said the Latvian Foreign Minister. In response to a clarifying question, she replied that such countries do exist.

The Lithuanian FM emphasized that in these cases, the lifting of restrictions was not publicly announced.

"Of course, not everything is announced publicly, and it is even better not to say it out loud until a certain time. The main thing is the impact on the battlefield. Because there is a choice: either to speak out loudly or just to do what is necessary," she said.

Braže is convinced that if there are facilities from which Russia is attacking Ukraine, Ukraine has the right to retaliate if these facilities are located on Russian territory. According to the Minister, such use of weapons is allowed by international law.

Earlier, we reported that dozens of explosions occurred in the occupied Crimea at night.
