Ukraine can strike targets not only on its own territory, but also the territory Russia is attacking it from, according to the Latvian minister.

Quote: "Ukraine is a priority for all the Baltic States – Ukraine’s victory is a common goal for all of us. At the same time, in the current geopolitical situation where different Russian hybrid warfare activities are observed on a daily basis, Latvia, the Baltic and Nordic region as a whole need to join efforts and strengthen security in a forward-looking and coordinated manner," Braže emphasised.

Braže's assertion that Ukraine got Western weapons from allies with permission to strike Russian territory sparked hysteria in Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova.
