Ukraine has ‘no constraints’ on aiming military targets in Russia, said Danilov
When asked whether Ukraine could get permission to use weapons supplied by partner nations to launch pre-emptive strikes on military targets in Russia itself, Danilov answered that “only military objects that are directly related to those pro-cesses taking place at the front” would be attacked.
“As for military targets on Russian territory – we have no constraints. I don’t understand where it all comes that we can’t hit military targets,” Danilov said.
“We are not Russians and we do not destroy critical infrastructure facilities, hospitals, kindergartens, schools.”
