BRUSSELS, Belgium – EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday urged countries to balance fear of escalation against Ukraine’s need to defend itself, saying Kyiv had the right to use Western arms to strike in Russia.“I could retaliate or I could fight against the one who fights against me from his territory,” Borrell said at the start of a meeting with European Union defense ministers.
Estonia’s Hanno Pevkur said he “truly hopes that all the countries who have these assets will also give the permission to Ukraine”. The calls came after NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday “the time had come” for allies to reconsider their restrictions, especially as Russia is pounding the Ukrainian city of Kharkhiv from its own territory.
Stoltenberg said last month that allies had agreed to give more air defenses but since then there have been no new systems pledged.
