Russia-Ukraine war | US opposes Ukraine using arms against Russia | WION World DNA

two big NATO Powers France and Germany have said that Ukraine should be allowed to hit military sites inside Russia but only those Russian sites from which missiles are being fired towards Ukrainian territory not other targets that’s the rider which has been given to Ukraine now this comes amid Ukrainian president zelinsky’s consistent please to the Western allies to allow using their weapons against military targets inside Russian territory French president Emanuel macron further clarifi that he is not escalating by extending his support to Ukraine since it is Russia that is organizing itself in this way during a joint news conference in Germany German Chancellor Olaf schz backed maon saying that is that as long as Ukraine respected the conditions laid out by the countries that supplied those weapons it was allowed to defend itself so we’re staying exactly within the same framework we think that we should allow them to neutralize the military sites from which the missiles are fired and basically the military sites from which Ukraine is attacked but we must not allow them to hit other Targets in Russia obviously civilian capabilities or other military targets however Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier warned the West that NATO members in Europe were playing with fire by proposing to let Ukraine use Western supplied weapons to strike inside Russia representatives of NATO countries especially in Europe especially in the small countries they should be aware of what they are playing with they should remember that as countries with small densely populated territories and this is a factor that they should keep in mind before talking about striking Russian territory speaking during a state visit to usbekistan Putin directly accused the US of wanting a global conflict [Music] he said the ground offensive being carried out by moscow’s forces in Ukraine’s Northeastern Kari region is the result of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory he added if Ukraine continues to strike residential areas Russia will be forced to create security zones everything now revolves around the events on the approaches to karv so it was them who provoked these events in this direction 6 months ago I publicly said if they continue to strike residential areas and neighborhoods we will be forced to create security zones and just recently I said so we moved on to this meanwhile the White House once again rejected Ukrainian president’s request for an end to restrictions on Kev using us supplied arms to strike Russian territory the US reiterated it does not encourage or enable us supplied weapons to strike Russia there’s uh no change to our policy at this point we don’t encourage or enable the use of us supplied weapons to strike inside Russia furthermore Ukraine’s President Vladimir zalinski has urged US President Joe Biden to attend a peace Summit which is all set to be held in Switzerland in mid June he said Ukraine’s key allies absence would only be applauded by the Russian President Vladimir Putin according to the report Biden and vice president Kamala Harris are set to miss theit I think the PE Summit needs President Biden and other people who are looking at the response of the United States of America need him if he is not present it will be just like applauding Putin personally applauding and doing so standing in in the latest Russian guided bombs killed two civilians in the Eastern Ukrainian city of tetk on Tuesday and heavily damaged two multi-story apartment buildings pictures shared by donet Regional Governor VM fashin showed damaged buildings and debris on the ground flashin said that Russian forces deployed three bombs in the city the one this we now been joined by John erth Senior policy director for the center for arms control and nonproliferation he’s joining us live from Washington DC welcome to the show Mr erit now the French President along with the German Chancellor have said that Ukraine should be allowed to use Western weapons to hit Russian targets while we witnessed how Putin earlier warned the West saying that the NATO members were playing with fire with such proposals how do you see this stance by France and Germany perhaps sparking the rise of a broader conflict this is very standard rhetoric from the Russian side uh it’s been very consistent for the last two years that uh every time there is additional assistance being sent to Ukraine from Western countries uh Putin or sometimes M will say something like this uh it’s part of a consistent strategy to raise the perception of a threat of a wider conflict and to get the Western countries to self-impose limitations on the assistance that they provide Ukraine uh Mr macron has of course distinguished between striking military targets from which Russia is targeting Ukraine and striking military targets otherwise now it’s a very fine line what’s to say that Ukraine maintains that line and if it uses those weapons targets other military facilities as well we have an allout war after that is it not playing with fire as Mr Putin said there is already an allout war that is underway war that Russia is involvement uh what Russia is asking here is for Ukraine to uh restrain itself from attacking Targets in Russia while Russia is unrestrained in the targets it can attacking Ukraine uh that’s not the recipe for a winnable War for Ukraine and that’s what Russia wants uh Mr Aris now the US Secretary of State Anthony blinkin he made the case for allowing Ukraine to hit military bases a few miles inside Russia when he visited Kiev uh just a few days ago how however the White House has now come out with a statement saying that it opposes Ukraine using Us weapons against Russia with consensus around uh the US policy freeing and pressure also mounting do you think that the US will allow Ukraine to use americanmade weapons against Russia it’s a very fine line to walk uh on the one hand nobody in Washington wants a escalated War once a wider conflict to emerge on the other hand Ukraine has an absolute right to defend itself and that should be allowed to use all the means at its disposal to do so uh but within the international within the framework of international law which means to strike military targets and not civilian ones uh Mr Edith do you you feel Ukraine has nothing left to lose at this point because it is there are high chances that Ukraine Burns its own hands here given the fact that us does not want an allout war with Russia and us is already in a certain amount of conflict with several Nations where Russia has built its strong ties in the recent two years it’s a decision that the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people are going to have to make uh on the one hand it is tremendously disadvantage ages in the military sense uh for Ukraine to suffer these attacks on territory coming from Russia without any chance to hit back uh on the other hand uh Ukraine does not want to escalate and does not want to provoke a wider conflict so it will be a question of finding a balance what targets to hit inside Russia that would have the maximum military effect uh and would uh in some way inhibit Russia’s ability to wage war against Ukraine and the Ukrainian population uh without going too far and provoking that wi all right uh thank you for joining in John and sharing all your insights of course there was John IR joining us from Washington DC sharing all his insights always a pleasure speaking with you thank you very much [Music]
