NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he approves of Ukraine's offensive in the Kursk region of Russia, citing Ukraine's right to defend itself.
"Russian soldiers, tanks and military bases are legitimate targets under international law," Stoltenberg told the German newspaper Velt (Die Welt).
The right of self-defense of Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia more than 900 days ago, "does not stop at the border", said the NATO Secretary General.
According to him, that counteroffensive was not planned with NATO and the Alliance did not play any role.
However, NATO will continue to support Ukraine by supplying weapons and equipment, "of vital importance" to thwart the Russian invasion, Stoltenberg added.
