Ukraine's invasion of Russia's Kursk region is legal and falls under Kyiv's right to self-defense, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. It is reported Reuters.
According to the agency, in an interview with the German weekly Welt am Sonntag, Stoltenberg said: "Ukraine has the right to self-defense. And according to international law, this right does not end at the border."
According to him, NATO was not informed in advance about Ukraine's plans and did not play any role in them.
At the same time, the head of NATO noted that Ukraine is taking a risk by advancing on Russian territory, but Kyiv must decide for itself how to conduct its military campaign.
"President Zelensky made it clear that the operation is aimed at creating a buffer zone to prevent further Russian attacks across the border. Like all military operations, it is associated with risks. But this is Ukraine's decision on how to defend itself." - he said.
