Ukraine can use Javelin from USA inside its territory, but only for self-defense – Pentagon
The Ukrainian military has the right to use the Javelin anti-tank missile systems received from the United States in any part of its country, but this should only be done for self-defense, Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby said on Wednesday, December 8.
"Our expectation for use of the Javelins […] is that they are to be used in a self-defensive mode […] for self-defense purposes. There is no geographical restriction on where they can be used inside Ukraine," he said at a briefing.
Kirby also said the U.S. side expect them to use them responsibly and "for purpose of self-defense."
