"Weapons given to Ukraine by the US and its partners cannot be used on the territory of Russia. However, this does not apply to the temporarily occupied Crimea.

But if we are talking about the liberation of Ukrainian territories, we must say that wherever the enemy is, we can use these weapons," the minister said.
