Finland Urges Ukraine To Strike “Inside Russia,” Challenge Putin’s Red Lines With Allies’ Weapons

A NATO* ally urged Ukraine to challenge one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's red lines amidst arms shortages on the front lines. Finnish Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen said Ukraine could use weapons provided by Helsinki to strike targets “inside” Russia. Hakkanen noted other Ukraine allies had provided "long-range missile systems" and were within their rights to "specify how they should be used". The Finnish defence minister also urged Germany to send Kyiv its long-range Taurus missiles "if they want to help Ukraine win". A Finnish parliament member went one step further, saying Ukraine "should" use the Finland-supplied arms to attack "military targets on the Russian side." Watch the video to know more.

[joesunova]

Is it also "legal" for Russia to target where the munitions are stored . . . in Finland?

[solkalibri]

US will not directly and physically get involved in this war between Russia and Ukraine because theses are not Arab countries. They cannot freely do bombing missions like they do in Arab countries. This one is difficult. This makes them think a million times to not meddle.
