All parties must ensure the safety of civilians regardless of where citizens are located.
This was stated by UN Secretary-General's spokesman Stéphane Dujarric in response to a question about Ukraine's use of US long-range weapons on the territory of the aggressor country, russia.
His words are quoted by Suspilne.
At the briefing, Dujarric was asked what the UN's position is on reports that the United States has lifted bans on Ukraine from using long-range missiles on russian territory.
"I can say that all parties must ensure the safety and protection of civilians, regardless of where they are," Dujarric said.
The journalist asked whether the UN Secretary-General has any concerns about the Biden administration's "green light" for Ukraine to use long-range weapons on russian territory.
Recall that The New York Times also reported on the US's permission to Ukraine to strike with long-range weapons.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on November 18, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to media reports about the US permission for long-range strikes on the territory of russia.
Recall, on November 17, the American newspaper The New York Times stated that US President Joseph Biden had allowed the Ukrainian military to use long-range missiles to strike the territory of the aggressor country, russia.
At the same time, the Italian government did not allow Ukraine to use its weapons to strike russia.
