Reference News reported on August 22According to a report on the website of German weekly "Zeit" on August 22, in view of Ukraine's offensive in Kursk, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell publicly expressed support for the use of Western weapons on Russian territory. He wrote on the social platform X that this would strengthen Ukraine's self-defense capabilities and save lives.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has again called for the lifting of restrictions on the use of weapons to stop Russia's advance, the report said. According to media reports, Ukrainian troops have already used British tanks in Kursk, and the British Ministry of Defense has also said that this is in accordance with international law. The United States and Germany have now also allowed Ukraine to use weapons on Russian territory, but only to strike targets in the Russian border area bordering the Kharkiv region.
Next week, EU foreign and defense ministers will discuss whether to lift restrictions, and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba is also expected to attend the meeting. However, the final decision lies with the member states. (Compiled by Nie Litao)
