However, so far our partners do not agree to this. Why the West is delaying the supply of such missiles – read the suggestions in the article.
About thisChannel 24said Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov. He noted that Ukraine has the right to strike at those places where Russia launches missiles or planes to attack.
According to him, the West understands that it is simply impossible not to strike at the territory of Russia. The oppositionist believes that they are still calculating the consequences what they will do when Ukraine starts to hit Russia's military infrastructure.
“This explains the delays in the supply of long-range missiles … I think that while the allies are calculating the consequences, there will definitely be missiles. The West is just trying to figure out how to minimize the consequences,” Gudkov said.
According to in his opinion,the West is not ready to ban Ukraine from hitting Russian territory, so for now it is delaying the supply of such long-range missiles.
This is the main motive. After all, the West, it seems to me, will not limit Ukraine in delivering strikes on the territory of Russia. Moreover, Ukraine is already hitting airfields without touching residential buildings and Russian society,” Gudkov assured.
The oppositionist added that no one will limit Ukraine in the choice of targets, because there are “laws” of war.
