"According to the law of war, it is perfectly possible, there is no contradiction whatsoever in retaliating, being able to counterattack those who attack me from their territory", said Josep Borrell to the press upon arriving at a Council of Defense Ministers of the European Union (EU), in Brussels.

Borrell stated that at this meeting the possibility of allowing Ukraine to use European weapons to attack within Russia will be discussed.

Russia militarily invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

NATO and European Union countries support Ukraine and have been sending weapons and ammunition to the Ukrainians since the beginning of the conflict.
