He is convinced that such a move could be an effective response to Russia's offensive, which he believes is the result of the West's bacchanalian and indecisive attitude.
He also emphasized that Ukraine has the right to use these weapons to strike legitimate military targets in Russia.
Rinkēvičs called on allies who provide Ukraine with restricted weapons to reconsider their decisions.
