MOSCOW, May 19— . Attacking Russian missiles over Ukraine with the aim of destroying them from the territory The North Atlantic Alliance is not contrary to the UN Charter and international law, said Nico Lange, a senior fellow at the Munich Security Conference, in an interview with Tagesschau.
“According to Article 51 of the UN Charter, this would be absolutely legal. From the point of view of international law, this is also feasible,” he asserts.
Lange proposed destroying Russian missiles and drones from the territory of Poland, Slovakia and Romania. This initiative will supposedly allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to move their air defense systems from the western part of Ukraine closer to contact zone to protect front-line territories, for example, Kharkov, he concluded.
Last week, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported that several German parliamentarians supported the idea of using Western anti-aircraft systems from NATO countries to counter Russian missiles over Ukraine.
As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov previously stated, the Europeans see that the situation is rapidly changing and is fraught with a complete collapse for Ukraine, so they are deliberately escalating tension.
