New NATO chief backs using Western weapons to strike deep into Russia

NATO’s newly appointed Secretary General, former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has backed the idea of allowing Ukraine to use Western-supplied weapons to strike deep into Russian territory.

Rutte made the remarks on Tuesday during a press conference following a ceremony commemorating the transfer of power from his predecessor Jens Stoltenberg. The new NATO chief backed the idea of Ukraine doing whatever it sees fit, claiming the country is within its rights to do so.

“We know international law, and according to international law, this right does not end at the border. So that means that supporting Ukraine’s right to self-defense means that it is also possible for them to strike legitimate targets on the aggressor territory,” Rutte said.

The new NATO chief, however, shifted responsibility from the bloc to its individual members, stating it was ultimately up to them to outline the rules of engagement for Kiev with regards to weapons systems they supply.

At the end, it’s up to each ally to determine its support for Ukraine. That’s not up to me. This is for the individual allies in their relationship with Ukraine.

Rutte’s remarks come amid the ongoing debate in the West as to whether Kiev should be allowed to strike deep into internationally-recognized Russian territory with weaponry it receives from its backers. Thus far, no consensus on the matter has been reached.

The statement met with a negative reaction from Russia. The head of the right-wing nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), Leonid Slutsky, said the remarks clearly signaled that the change in NATO’s leadership would not entail any shifts in its aggressive stance.

Zelensky failed to impress Americans – WSJ
The Ukrainian leader’s request to be allowed to strike into Russia with long-range missiles was turned down, the paper said

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky was unable to secure a major boost in American support in the conflict with Russia during his latest visit to the US and failed to impress Washington with his “victory plan,” the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

Zelensky’s path to prevailing in the conflict with Russia reportedly includes four key clauses: NATO-like Western security guarantees for Ukraine, the continuation of Kiev’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region to serve as a territorial bargaining chip, deliveries of “specific” Western-made advanced weapons, and international financial aid for Ukraine. Officials in Kiev promised to release the contents of the plan to the public, but said that some details would remain secret.

However, when the Ukrainian leader attempted to showcase his roadmap in the US, he faced a “tepid reception,” according to the WSJ. The paper noted that the administration of US President Joe Biden remains “wary of making moves that Moscow could perceive as escalation, expressed skepticism and said they wanted more details.”
The paper added that Kiev’s failure to negotiate a significant increase in US assistance “points to a perilous road ahead,” especially as Ukrainian lines remain under strong pressure in Donbass. The WSJ assessed that without a “major surge” in military support, Ukraine’s goal of reclaiming all the territory it claims as its own “appears distant.”

A Bloomberg report last week also claimed that Western officials did not believe that Zelensky’s “victory plan” would deliver a breakthrough in the conflict, as it contained no “real surprises” and largely amounted to a “wish list.”

Commenting on the roadmap, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov pointed out that it does not contain any specifics and offers nothing to Kiev’s Western backers.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that if the West decides to allow Ukraine to use foreign-made long-range weapons to strike deep into the country, this will mean that NATO is “waging war” against Moscow.
