NATO chief calls for the use of allied weapons against Russia • FRANCE 24 English

the use of Western weapons to attack Targets in Russia has long been a red line for Ukraine’s allies speaking in an interview with the economists NATO bossan stoltenberg says he wants that to change I think the time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons they have donated to uh to Ukraine uh because especially now when a lot of the fighting is going on in harv close to the Border uh to deny uh Ukraine the possibility of using this weapons against legitimate military Targets on Russian territory makes it very hard for them to defend themselves Washington has stood firm on not helping Kei attack Russian territory fearing it could escalate the conflict into a wider War but it’s facing growing pressure to scrap the policy some NATO countries including France and Estonia haven’t ruled out the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine Biden says that’s an area he will not budge on there are no American soldiers at war in Ukraine I’m determined to keep it that way but we are standing strong with Ukraine and we will stand with them Ukraine’s president vlir zinski continues to call on allies to help shoot down Russian missiles this is his country suffers setbacks am mid moscow’s assault on HEV on Saturday zilinski condemned a Russian attack on a hardware store in the North Eastern region as vile the Ukrainian president used the bombing to make a fresh appeal for help when we tell leaders of the western world we need sufficient air defenses in order to stop the Russian terrorists from coming anywhere near our borders we’re talking about preventing terrorist attacks like this one it comes after Ukraine said on Friday that it had managed to haunt moscow’s progress in h and was counterattacking

In a recent interview with The Economist, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called for the lifting of restrictions on allied weapons donated to Ukraine, so that Ukrainian forces could use them to strike Russia as fighting continues in the Kharkiv region near the border. Meanwhile, France and Estonia haven’t ruled out the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine.

  3. an escalating use of force says more about your hunger for war than it does about seeking actual peaceful resolution even if it requires Ukraine to give up some territory. just remember the country you are trying to save will become ground zero for far more attacks and will destroy it even further unless you change your course! accepting reality clearly is not something that Europeans are good at doing as is apparent by how out of control the leftist policies have become. as long as this doesn't turn nuclear we'll be fine here in the US but i'd be very careful the ground you're preparing to tread on because it'll open you up to attacks on your people and infrastructure.

  5. if you stand with UA, you must be in UA… otherwise, u’r standing behind UA. Backing UA is not a bad thing, but it ain’t standing with them, so be clear what you say JB.

  7. So all the key weapons were being withheld for this particular reason while Russia advanced into Ukraine and now they are saying Ukraine should hit targets inside Russia? This really shows how incompetent NATO has become.
    Ukraine should have been given these weapons a long time ago with the green light to attack Russia!

  11. Allied weapons are only good against people who have pipe bombs and fireworks, like the Palestinian people.
    Russia has very powerful and sophisticated weapons.
    The war the allies want with Russia is probably to do with the Biblos.

  12. Finally nato will allow you Ukraine to use there weapons against the Russians nation itself the west makes me sick always self deterring themselves Afraid of further escalating the conflict even though Russia has been silently and loudly escalating the conflict Russian and Chinese misinformation and influence campaigns are on the offensive in all western nations

  13. Biden is walking a dangerous line with his unwillingness to allow the use of American weapons in Russian territory. North Korea, Iran and possibly China are allowing their weapons to be used at will. Ukraine only has so many people who can fight. Thier salvation is dependent on God and western weapons that can be employed as needed.

  14. Ukraine needs to give an ultimatum, not to Russia or Putin, but to NATO and the West "allies." Or you provide us with everything we need to win the war, or we negotiate with Putin, and the problem is all yours.

  21. Well !!!
    I would really advise to watch closely this movement of Ukraine government, president and his Russian general and their tactics more like kgb vs European for Ukraine people to join army when they didn’t punish no one for stilling money from government budget and mess in army that causing people not wanting to join the army because it’s more like soviet vs the way they were trained in uk and others European countries!!!
    Watch out make sure this is not set up of Putin to get aid from west and than those general could capitulate to Russia that will turn into big mess and Ukraine army could be used against European forces with their weapons!!!
    Deeply I don’t trust Zelenskyy and his general!!!
    You might have to make very serious decisions about Ukraine!!! Young man didn’t go to war just older people!!! This is very strange and you must have on stand by specially France to intervene if needed!!!
    Looks like it’s sooner than you thought!!!
    China could provoke Taiwan to take attention and Russia could attack Ukraine much stronger and they can manipulate capitulation of some parts and absolutely people will not accept but they are very tired!!! Looks like Ukraine government dose that for reason!!!
    Ukraine army trust zalushnyy and who they need!!!

  22. Russia presented plans to Chinese on Ukraine and Chinese play the role but not getting involved!
    They played safe!!! Chinese visit to Serbia and Hungary after France it’s more like china Russia plans!!!
    France friendly visit might be not of France favour!!!
    You have to understand that you compete with kgb mind manipulation and Chinese don’t act smart they act very stupid to play part of Putin game!!!
    France should look for better allies than Germany on leading the Europe.

  25. Bcoz the abrams didn't already get pulled from combat in less than 2 months against Russia and almost 50 western "game changers" haven't also failed against Russia in the last 10 years? (ukraine started this civil war in 2014 in maidan square you know?)

  30. Since NATO countries are nuclear ready countries. Russia is right to prepare for nuclear war.
    Why is okay for NATO to mastermind and facilitate weapons to Ukraine but not allowing other to trade and sell weapons to Russia, this is total hypocrite.
    After Russia next on the list is China. What will China do next?

  31. Russia aren't a problem right now to Europe.

    Far-left/neo-Marxists (including EU bloc leaders and UN) and isImst extrmsts, are. They're already harming Europe greatly.

  33. From UK, Norway, Belgian, Poland, etc…as long as they are being the vassal country of USA. They just cries loud, nothing will change. Pity

  34. Russia’s tetaliatory strikes in countries who allowed ukrainian to use their weapon against civilians also cannot be considered as an aggression 😊

  35. He thrives on blood, is a cruel and callous assassin that should already have been prosecuted for war crimes, his excuse of supporting Ukraine has only served him to have hundreds of thousands of young ukranians sacrificed…. without getting anywhere, just feeding his narcissistic autocomplacency.

  36. Jens the Puppet clown doesn't understand or doesn't care that Russian Weapons will hit NATO countries who's weapons hit Russia. These clowns care nothing for EU Citizens.

  39. In the build-up to the current political, military, economic and diplomatic conflict that NATO has unleashed in Europe, Stoltenberg has led the way from its very inception. In December 2021, during a visit by Zelensky to Brussels, Stoltenberg affirmed that the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation would continue its eastward expansion, despite Russia’s protests. He has lied with impunity in order to pursue the aggressive and expansive policy that characterises NATO and has been – and continues to be – the direct cause of the current conflict in Ukraine.

  40. In the battle against Napoleon at Waterloo, the grenadiers of the United Kingdom, including the "First or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards", emerged victorious and this select guard does not have a criminal record like the "Legion en France". Which is why I am now withdrawing Selenskyj's legitimacy, because he is emulating the Russian Wagner PMC.

  41. I just bet everyone is armed w nuke warheads in sub ‘s and ships about now….Putin may announce his nuke snap drills, others don’t
