According to YLE, Finnish Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen stated that Finland had not imposed any restrictions on the use of weapons supplied to Ukraine, noting that limitations on weapon usage have primarily been set by countries providing Ukraine with long-range weapon systems.
“These larger countries, which have, among other things, provided these long-range missile systems, of course they also have a say in how they can be used,” he said.
On 28 February, Col. Andrus Merilo, the incoming commander of the Estonian Defence Forces, told Yle that Western countries made a mistake restricting the use of weapons supplied to Ukraine to Ukrainian territory only.
“According to my information, Finland has not set such restrictions, and Ukraine has the right to use these weapons against military targets also on Russian soil,” he told Yle.
