“To save my people, why should I ask permission?”: Zaluzny on waging war on enemy territory

If partners are afraid to transfer weapons to Ukraine that can be used to strike at the territory of the aggressor country of Russia, Ukraine will use weapons of its own production. Yes Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Valery Zaluzhny in an interview with the Washington Post, he commented on the fears of the allies about the possible shelling of Russian territory with their weapons.

As the general told WP, ​​he is forced to succeed on the battlefield in a situation where the supply of ammunition to Ukraine is limited, and the Russian occupiers often fire three times as many shells a day. At the same time, modern Western F-16 fighters will not appear on the battlefield until next year, and Western allies do not want Ukraine to use long-range missiles and other weapons to strike Russian territory, fearing an escalation.

“To save my people, why should I ask anyone for permission what to do in enemy territory? Somehow I must think that I can’t do anything there. Why? Because Putin… will use nuclear weapons? Dying children don’t care. This is our problem and we decide how to kill this enemy. In a war on its territory, you can and should kill. If our partners are afraid to use their weapons, we will kill with our own. But only as much as necessary.”he stressed.

Earlier in an interview with Facts American historian of Russian origin Yuri Felshtinsky expressed the opinion that if the West allows Ukraine to wage this war as an offensive one, everything will end very quickly with our Victory.
