The Kremlin on Monday accused NATO's secretary-general of "raising the stakes" in the Ukraine conflict after he said members of the transatlantic alliance should allow Western weapons to be used to strike targets in Russia.
"NATO is raising the stakes," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia's Izvestia daily, as quoted by Reuters, when asked about Stoltenberg's statement: "NATO is flirting with military rhetoric".
Asked if NATO was moving closer to direct confrontation with Russia, Peskov was blunt: "They are not moving closer. They are doing it".
At issue are statements by NATO's chief who, under the right of self-defence "enshrined in the UN Charter", has raised the possibility of Ukraine striking inside Russia and insisted that this is "legal" as long as they are "legitimate military targets", according to EFE.
"It is time for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions on the weapons they provide to Ukraine, because we have to remember that this is a war of aggression by Russia, that Ukraine has the right to defend itself and that includes hitting targets inside Russian territory", Stoltenberg said over the weekend.
