The lifting of restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons against the russian military in accordance with international law will help "advance peace efforts."
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell wrote about this on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, August 21.
According to him, the lifting of restrictions on the use of forces and means against the russian occupiers would have several important consequences, including stopping the bombing of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure facilities by strengthening Ukraine's self-defense.
Borrell also noted that this will help save lives and reduce destruction in Ukraine, as well as help advance peace efforts.
"As I conveyed to Ukrainian FM Dmytro Kuleba, the EU fully supports Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression. I look forward to meeting him in Brussels and to a discussion with EU Foreign and Defence Ministers next week, to move forward in our support to UA," wrote Borrell.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on August 13, Josep Borrell stated that the European Union fully supports Ukraine's actions in the Kursk Oblast of russia.
On August 13, the U.S. Department of State commented on Ukraine's actions in the Kursk Oblast.
On August 7, the spokesperson of the European Commission on Foreign Affairs, Peter Stano, stated that Ukraine has a legal right to defend itself, including by "hitting an aggressor on its territory."
