Ukraine promises not to use American weapons on Russian territory but it does not apply to Crimea - Dmytro Kuleba

This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba in an interview with the American edition of the Wall Street Journal.

"Ukraine should not be endlessly victimized. We are a country that is fighting on all fronts for its survival, for its territorial integrity. The most important thing is that no one treats Ukraine’s behavior—as long as it complies with international laws of warfare—from the perspective that Russia can do everything it wants while Ukraine has to respect certain red lines in defending itself," the foreign minister said.

He claimed restricting Ukraine is wrong at a time when Russia is doing everything that it can technically afford.

"We are first and foremost focused on striking targets in the occupied territories of Ukraine, on liberating our own territory. But of course, the notion that Russia can do whatever it can technically afford doing in Ukraine while Ukraine doesn’t have the same right is conceptually, morally and militarily wrong," Kuleba claimed.

He also noted that Ukraine has promised the United States not to use American weapons to strike at the territory of Russia, but this does not concern Crimea, which is internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory.
