 Germany, operations of Ukraine's armed forces on territory of Russia, acceptable. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has said that the operations of the Ukrainian armed forces in Russia are perfectly acceptable. Pistorius said it on German television. The official states that the situation in which the attacked country penetrates the enemy's territory during hostilities for example to cut off its supply lines is absolutely normal. As long as cities, civilians and civilian objects are not attacked, we will have to accept this. It's unwilling, but it has to happen for example to cut off supply routes, the German minister said. Earlier Pistorius said that the war unleashed by Russia was an obstacle to discussing Ukraine's accession to NATO. The minister noted that NATO should carefully weigh any step towards Ukraine's inclusion in the alliance. The door is open a crack, but this is not the time to decide that now. Pistorius said adding that the option couldn't be seriously discussed as the war rages. The minister said NATO must carefully weigh any step towards including Ukraine in the alliance. You have to decide with a cool head and a hot heart and not vice versa, he said.
