From a military perspective, Ukrainians should not face restrictions on using delivered weapons, NATO Military Committee Chair Rob Bauer said on Saturday.
Speaking after a NATO Military Committee meeting in Prague, Bauer argued that lifting restrictions on the use of supplied weapons would be logical from a military standpoint. However, he noted that countries supplying these weapons have the right to impose limits on their use and that there is ongoing political discussion on the matter.
According to the Czech News Agency, debates on weapon use restrictions are occurring at various levels. Italy has introduced restrictions, while countries like the Czech Republic, Sweden and the Netherlands have not imposed any conditions.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that by providing Ukraine with long-range weapons, Western countries risk becoming directly involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He stated that Russia would be forced to make "appropriate decisions" based on new threats, according to Russian media.
Western media reports indicate that Ukraine has been pleading with its Western allies to allow the use of their missiles, including long-range ones, to strike deep into Russian territory.
