 NATO. Ukraine can attack Russian territory. Ukraine can attack Russian territory since this is Ukraine's right to self-defense. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said ahead of an informal meeting of NATO foreign affairs ministers. Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is a flagrant violation of international law. The right of self-defense is enshrined in the UN Charter. He noted, reminding that Russian President Vladimir Putin started the war, Stoltenberg noted, that only he can stop it. We support Ukraine and will continue to support it, but this does not make NATO a party to the conflict. NATO has two tasks, to support Ukraine and to prevent Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine from extending beyond that country. Stoltenberg said that all allies agree Ukraine should become a NATO member and emphasized that Russian actions and concerns cannot be decisive in this regard. It's not for Moscow to have a veto against NATO enlargement, he said.
