Finland views Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries and military targets inside Russia as legally justified, Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen told The Moscow Times on the sidelines of a NATO foreign ministers meeting.

Ukrainian drone strikes on Tuesday targeted an oil refinery and a drone assembly plant in the republic of Tatarstan, the farthest-reaching strikes inside Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine over two years ago.

“The UN Charter allows a country, while it defends its independence, to attack targets which are military. So I would just leave it like that,” Valtonen told The Moscow Times on Wednesday.

It's people sitting at home 3000+km away sipping their caramel macchiato snuggied up on their plush sofa with zero clue that the only way to win a war is to convince your opponents the cost of conceding is less than the net cost of continuing. Letting your opponent attack you on your territory without reciprocating in kind is ~~allowing~~ encouraging them to continue.
