Any Russian objects on the occupied territory of Ukraine are legitimate military targets for attack by the Armed Forces.

Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the President's Office, wrote about this on the Web.

"Any Russian objects on the occupied territory are legitimate military targets for attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Any counteroffensive and de-occupation of territories falls under the concept of defensive war," the statement said.

"This is an absolute axiom both for the leadership of Ukraine and for our allies," the adviser to the head of the presidential office emphasized.

We will remind, as reported in the Pentagon, the HIMARS systems provided to Ukraine and the ammunition for them allow the Ukrainian military to hit targets, in particular, in the occupied Crimea.

It should be noted that earlier the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Serhiy Lavrov threatened that all Russian laws and doctrines, including the nuclear one, would be extended to the "joined" territories of Ukraine.
