Ukraine uses weapons provided by the West “for defense, de-occupation of Ukrainian territories and destruction of enemy warehouses,” Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the Ukrainian president, said on Twitter. According to him, Ukraine does not strike at the territory of Russia.

“Once again about the basic things for our partners. Ukraine does not strike at the territory of Russia,” wrote Podolyak.

According to him, the AFU needs longer-range missiles and assault aircraft for an “effective counteroffensive”.

At the same time, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine, Alexey Danilov, in an interview with Reuters, said that Kiev should attack objects in Russia that cause damage to Ukraine. «If there is an object (on the territory of Russia.—RBC), which is causing damage to our country, we must destroy these objects,— said Danilov.

Ukraine and Western countries do not recognize the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014, as well as the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions in 2022. Moscow has repeatedly said that Ukraine and other states should recognize these established territorial realities. Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev noted that if the Ukrainian side strikes the territory of Crimea, which is part of Russia, it will face “inevitable retaliation”.

In January, the Pentagon approved a new $2.2 billion package of military assistance to Ukraine, which included GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) homing missiles with a firing range of more than 150km. The Russian Foreign Ministry warned that in the event of the start of deliveries of longer-range missiles to Ukraine, the United States would cross the “red line” and turn into one of the parties to the conflict. The Kremlin ruled out that the supply of new missiles would change the course of events of the military operation.

Russian regions have repeatedly come under fire from Ukraine. Thus, the border Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions have been regularly reporting artillery attacks since the beginning of the military operation. In addition, several times objects on the territory of Russia were attacked from drones. So, in December, air defense systems shot down a Ukrainian drone while approaching the Engels military airfield in the Saratov region, three Russian military personnel were killed due to the fall of drone debris.
