The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, on Tuesday called for a ‘balance’ between the need for Ukraine to attack targets on Russian territory with equipment donated by the West and the risk of escalation of the conflict that this approach can involve, informs France Presse reports.

Borrell said before the Council of EU Defense Ministers that the possibility of allowing Ukraine to use European weapons to launch attacks inside Russia would be discussed. Also in Brussels, the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, said that Ukraine’s use of weapons provided by its Western allies against targets inside Russia would not make NATO and its members part of the conflict. In this context, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo signed a ten-year bilateral security agreement in Brussels on Tuesday, which includes the delivery of 30 F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv.
