The new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has supported Ukraine's right to strike military targets in Russia.
At a briefing in Kyiv, he said that Ukraine has the right to defend itself. This right does not end at its borders.
‘Russia is waging an illegal war, and that means that shooting down Russian fighter jets and missiles before they are used against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure can help,’ Rutte said.
‘Some issues, such as restrictions, are beyond NATO's control,’ Rutte said.
