The Ukrainian offensive in the Russian border region of Kursk is in line with Kiev's right to defend itself against its attacker. This is what NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says in an interview with the German newspaper Die Welt.

The offensive, which began earlier in August, caught the Kremlin off guard. According to Ukraine, they have taken control of a total of 100 communities and an area of almost 1,300 square kilometers.

Ukraine has the right to defend itself. And according to international law, that right does not stop at the border, says Stoltenberg and continues:

The Russian soldiers, tanks, and bases there (Kursk) are legitimate targets according to international law.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyj stated earlier in the week that the counter-invasion of Kursk is part of a Ukrainian peace plan to be presented to the US in September.
