8/30/2024 — EU’s Top Diplomat Calls on Ukraine Allies to Allow Strikes Within Russia

From: Newsweek By Matthew Impelli

The European Union‘s top diplomat called on allies of Ukraine to allow the nation to carry out military strikes inside Russia.

On Thursday, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell spoke about Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia during a meeting in Brussels, where he said, “We need to lift restrictions on the use of weaponry against Russian military targets, in accordance with international law.”
