Sikorski urged to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory.

Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski expressed his opinion on the US position regarding the ban on Ukraine using Western weapons to attack the Russian Federation.

In an interview with CNN, he reminded of the tragic incident in Lviv where a Russian missile killed the entire Bazylevych family. Sikorski also visited the site of the tragedy along with the mayor of Lviv.

In Lviv a father saw his wife & three daughters killed by a Russian attack. “The missile… was launched from a Russian bomber flying over Russian territory from a Russian airfield. Give me one reason why Ukraine should not be able to take out… that airfield,” says @radeksikorski pic.twitter.com/0Q0T1yfDuN

The Minister emphasized that Russia continues to violate international humanitarian law and is destroying Ukraine's energy infrastructure. He also noted that more than 70% of the facilities have already been destroyed.

Sikorski asked why Ukraine should not be able to destroy the Russian bomber that killed the Lviv family, and also flew over Russian territory and took off from a Russian airfield. He also noted that Ukrainian troops have been in Russia's Kursk region since August.
