Finland views Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries and military targets inside Russia as legally justified, Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen told The Moscow Times on the sidelines of a NATO foreign ministers meeting.
Ukrainian drone strikes on Tuesday targeted an oil refinery and a drone assembly plant in the republic of Tatarstan, the farthest-reaching strikes inside Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine over two years ago.
“The UN Charter allows a country, while it defends its independence, to attack targets which are military. So I would just leave it like that,” Valtonen told The Moscow Times on Wednesday.
Well yeah, shooting back is what happens. Russia has such a victim complex.
That seems obvious to me, and I’m one of the few who doesn’t want the US involved in this war in the first place.
It seems to me that Ukraine was justified in bombing Russia when they invaded Crimea.
No fucking shit. If Ukraine could successfully bomb Moscow, they should, and would be entirely justified in doing so
