Borrell confirms US greenlit deeper strikes inside Russia

Borrell confirms US greenlit deeper strikes inside Russia
19.11.2024 10:32
Top EU diplomat Josep Borrell confirmed that the US lifted restrictions for US-supplied missiles to be used for strikes up to 300 kilometers inside Russia, reported from TASS.

"The US administration has authorized the use of its missiles to strike up to 300 kilometers inside Russian territory. This is not very far, but it is a decision of the US administration. Why they made this decision now and not earlier, before the election, I don't know," he said at a news conference following a meeting of foreign ministers from EU member states.

The Americans said "no" for a long time, but they said "yes" now, Borrell said. According to the diplomat, EU foreign ministers discussed the issue at their meeting.

Borrell stated this as a fact that he himself has knowledge about, and wasn’t referring to any news media reports. There is a strict rule in EU institutions that leaks to the media don’t merit comments.

"We have discussed this," Borrell said. "There was no common decision on this today. Each country will act as it sees fit."

Borrell also said he had always called for supplying Ukraine with weapons that not only allow it to "shoot down arrows, but also to get through to archers."

Earlier, Borrell also urged EU countries to "learn the language of force if the EU wants to seek the role of a geopolitical player." Even before the discussion on lifting restrictions for European weapons to be used against Russia, he made it clear from the get-go that he doubted it would be effective.
