Allies will support strikes against Russia if it is carried out with Ukrainian weapons – politician Bereza

He stated this on Espreso. 

"Our allies are ready and support the idea of Ukraine using its own weapons to carry out strikes in Russia. Valerii Zaluzhnyi expressed this desire after discussing with American and British generals. Our allies have not shown any disagreements or objections after Zaluzhnyi's statement. So, now that we have the desire and the means, we need to put this plan into action. However, it can only happen when we have the necessary Ukrainian-made weapons," explained Bereza.

The politician stressed the importance of establishing a demilitarized zone within Russian territory.

"No one opposes Zaluzhnyi. Our allies are not against strikes on Russia, but they insist that only Ukrainian-made weapons should be used. It's worth mentioning that even in the 'Doctrine of Zaluzhnyi-Zabrodskyi' article from last year, it clearly stated that the only solution is to prevent shelling from Russian territory into Ukraine by creating a demilitarized zone in Russia. It's either through negotiations or the use of weapons," he added.

• On July 15, in an interview with the Washington Post, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stated that Ukraine will use weapons made in its own country to carry out attacks on Russian territory.

• During the same interview, Zaluzhnyi emphasized that Ukraine intends to regain control of Crimea, which is currently under temporary occupation, as soon as it has the necessary resources.

• He also shared an incident from 2019 when he was on his way to Brussels for the NATO summit and was briefly detained by Interpol.
