USA:sta muutaman senaattorin vastaus täällä käytävään keskusteluun Ukrainan oikeudesta sotatoimiin ryssälän puolella rajaa.
Boldaukset minun, niissä pikaselaajalle oleellinen.
Several American senators in an interview with "Voice of America" commented on their position regarding the right of Ukraine to return fire on the territory of the Russian Federation.
"There is a war going on in Ukraine. And this is not a war that they chose. This is a war that was imposed on them by Vladimir Putin. Therefore, Ukraine has the right to defend itself. And
to defend itself not only on its sovereign territory, but also wherever there is an aggressor, that's the nature of war. Again, if Putin hadn't started this war, he wouldn't be in the situation he's in now," said Sen. Bob Menendez, a Democrat and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
For his part, Republican Senator Jim Rish, co-chairman of the Senate Committee on International Relations, believes that the Ukrainians themselves should decide the nature of their military operations."
This is a question that Ukrainians have to answer themselves. This is their conflict. They know better what to do and what answer to give. And I understand that. I am definitely not one of those who are going to sit and condemn what they are doing.As for Russia itself, when it does such things, most people should have realized that there will be a reaction to it. And the reaction, most likely, will be similar," said Rish.
Ben Cardin, a Democratic senator, believes there are certain limits that must be met. But at the same time, it should not be forgotten that any actions of Kyiv are only a defense against Russian aggression.Republican Senator John Ricketts noted that the Ukrainians must do everything necessary to win this war."Again, this is a war.
Ukraine needs to make sure that it survives this war. So they will have to do everything they have to do to win," the lawmaker emphasized.
