OREANDA-NEWS Retired Bundeswehr General Erhard Buehler supported the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on Russian regions. He made such a statement on the podcast of the MDR broadcasting company.

Buhler commented on the statements of the commander of the Ukrainian naval forces, Alexei Neizhpapa, that Kiev "would have won much faster" if it had received permission from the West to strike with its long-range systems on the territory deep in Russia.

"Everything that is in the depths of Russia is legitimate goals," the German general urged.

The expert added that the Western military is playing in the "political space", while the politicians themselves do not want to use their weapons on Russian territory because of the risks of escalation of the conflict. According to Buhler, the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Russian regions will not solve the outcome of the conflict.

Earlier, Neizhpapa spoke about the desire to hit Western missiles "deep into the territory of Russia." In his opinion, in this case, the situation on the battlefield for the AFU would be much better.
