Ukraine Using Western Weapons on Russian Soil Won’t Make NATO a Party to War: Stoltenberg

Some allies that supply weapons to Ukraine haven’t imposed restrictions on how Ukraine should use the weapons, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.

Ukraine’s use of weapons supplied by its Western allies against targets inside Russia would not make NATO and its members part of the conflict, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a European Union (EU) meeting on May 28.

“The fact that we are delivering equipment to Ukraine doesn’t make NATO party to the conflict,” Mr. Stoltenberg said ahead of a meeting with the EU’s defense ministers.
