- A NATO spokesman has confirmed to the Financial Times that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was indeed referring to Ukraine’s right to self-defense, including striking legitimate Russian military targets outside Ukraine.
- “Each ally decides for itself whether it has any reservations about what it supplies, and different allies have slightly different policies on this. But in general, we must remember what we are talking about. This is Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, which is a blatant violation of international law,” Stoltenberg said.
