Poland has given Ukraine the green light to use weapons supplied by Warsaw to strike targets inside Russia.
In an interview with Poland's Radio Zet, Cezary Tomczyk, the deputy defense minster, said Warsaw "does not apply any restrictions when it comes to the use of Polish weapons by Ukrainians."
There has been a growing chorus of calls for Ukraine to be authorized to use Western weapons to attack targets inside Russia, more than two years into the war launched by Moscow in February 2022.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned Ukraine against using long-range weapons provided by NATO members to strike his country. He said on Tuesday that doing so could trigger "a global conflict."
