NATO's Stance on Long-Range Weapons in Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has articulated the alliance's position on allowing Ukraine to utilize long-range missiles to strike targets within Russia. He emphasized that not permitting such actions could result in a greater risk, with the potential for President Putin to gain a strategic advantage if Ukraine does not have the necessary tools to impact the battlefield. Stoltenberg made it clear that supplying weapons to Ukraine, even if used against Russian targets, does not equate to NATO's direct involvement in the conflict. As debates among allies continue, Stoltenberg supports lifting restrictions on military equipment to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities.
