Jens Stoltenberg supports Ukraine’s offensive in the Kursk region. The outgoing NATO Secretary General said Ukraine has the right to defend itself and that this right “does not stop at the border.” “Russian soldiers, tanks and military bases are legitimate targets under international law,” the NATO leader explained in an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt. Stoltenberg guarantees that the invasion “was not planned by NATO” and that the Alliance “played no role.” He also assures that NATO will continue to support Ukraine with weapons and equipment to stop the Russian invasion and welcomes “Germany’s commitment to remain Ukraine’s main military donor in Europe and the second in the world” after the United States.
It is not the first time he has defended Ukraine’s right to self-defense, even asking allies to reconsider arms restrictions in a move that aligns with Zelensky’s desire for permission to attack Russian territory with long-range weapons. Kyiv launched an invasion of Kursk on August 6 and now claims control of more than 100 cities and 1,300 square kilometers of territory in the region.
