The Western allies differ on Ukraine’s use of Western weapons on Russian territory.

Ukraine can freely use tanks, armored vehicles, and other equipment transferred by Canada on Russian territory. “Ukrainians know best how to defend their homeland, and we are committed to supporting their ability. Canada has no geographic restrictions on the use of military equipment provided to Ukraine,” said the Canadian Ministry of Defense spokeswoman. In turn, the Ministry of Defense of Spain emphasized that Ukraine itself determines how, when, and where to use military equipment provided by Spain. Meanwhile, Washington keeps blocking Britain’s permission for Kyiv to use Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory amid fears of the war’s escalation. The request from Britain was received over a month ago, but there still has been no response. At the same time, “discussions about Storm Shadow with allies continue.” This decision requires consensus from the US, France, and one more NATO country. The Pentagon once again stated that the US’ position regarding attacks on the Russian Federation with American weapons has not changed, despite the successes of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region.
