On Thursday, August 29, European Union foreign ministers met in Brussels to discuss the possible lifting of restrictions on Ukraine’s ability to strike targets within Russia.
This was reported by “European Pravda,” citing a statement by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell.
Borrell mentioned that the EU ministers discussed the possibility of removing the range restrictions on weapons provided to Ukraine.
“Ultimately, the conclusion is that this is a decision for individual states, and member states want it to remain a decision of individual states. Each one will make the decision it deems appropriate,” he added.
The EU’s top diplomat pointed out that some EU member states do not provide Ukraine with long-range missiles, “so this is not a decision in which they have any practical involvement.”
“So this is not a decision at the European level,” Borrell noted.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, before the ministers’ meeting, stated that official Kyiv hopes to gain the agreement of its partners to use long-range missiles against targets on Russian territory and to receive such capabilities in a timely manner.
Recently, it was unofficially reported that Ukraine plans to present the White House with a list of targets in Russia for ATACMS missiles in an attempt to convince President Biden.
