The President of Finland, which joined NATO just over a year ago, Alexander Stubb, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces can use any weapons supplied by the West at their discretion, including attacks on Russia, APA reports citing Top War.

Stubb said at a press conference broadcast by the Finnish Foreign Ministry, after a question about allowing Kyiv to use weapons received from the West to strike Russia.

At the same time, the President of Finland claims that Helsinki has not previously introduced bans on the use of weapons supplied by his country to Ukraine. True, Stubb made a reservation that the Armed Forces of Ukraine should use Western weapons for defense purposes and without violating international law. As if the Zelensky regime and the militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, not to mention the nationalist formations, ever took these restrictions into account.
