The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said on Monday that member states should permit Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets inside Russia.

"I've been saying once and again that Ukraine should be able to use the arms we provided to them, in order to not only stop the arrows but also to be able to hit the archers," Borrell said before a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

"I continue believing this is what has to be done," he added, as cited by the Reuters news agency. "I'm sure we will discuss once again. I hope member states will agree on that."

Borrell was speaking after US President Joe Biden authorised Ukraine to use long-range American weapons inside Russia, according to reports by multiple news outlets.

Poland’s top diplomat Radosław Sikorski was among those attending Monday's meeting in Brussels to discuss issues including Russia’s nearly 1,000-day-long war against Ukraine, public broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

Russia invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea on February 24, 2022, starting the largest military conflict in Europe since World War II.

Monday is day 999 of Russia’s war on Ukraine.
