Details: The US senator said Ukrainians have "absolutely every moral right to do what they are doing".
"Ukrainians are attacking Russia on its territory with Ukrainian weapons. How can we ask Ukrainians about the use of their weapons while sitting in a bunker?" Blumenthal asked a rhetorical question.
He added that after his visit to Bucha, where Russians massacred people, he "cannot forgive the Russian military".
The Democratic Senator also said that the Biden administration is "ready to provide more" air defence systems, but the problem is the need to manufacture these weapons.
"We need to encourage suppliers to fulfil production orders as soon as possible," Blumenthal concluded.
In addition, he stressed the need to speed up the training of Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighters, as, according to the senator, these fighters will change the rules of the game on the battlefield.
Background:
- The US State Department said earlier it neither encourages nor supports drone attacks inside Russia.
- At the same time, German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock believes that regular attacks by allegedly Ukrainian drones on the Russian capital Moscow are legitimate.
- Before that, UK intelligence suggested that the drone attack on the airfield in Soltsy, Novgorod Oblast (Russia), where a Tu-22M3 strategic nuclear bomber was destroyed, could have been carried out from Russian territory.
