Norway: Ukraine has right to strike at Russian territory to defend itself

He said this in an interview with the Voice of America at the NATO summit.

"Our principled position is that as long as Ukraine's military actions comply with international law, the UN Charter, they should be able to use weapons to the best effect to protect Ukraine," the diplomat said.

"International law is very clear: if you are attacked, you can fight back against the attacker on the attacker's territory," he said.

The Norwegian Foreign Minister cited Kharkiv as an example. If Russia bombards the city from its territory, Ukraine has the right to strike back where it came from.

Eide emphasized that “Ukraine, not Putin, should win this war.”
