However, U.K. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly disagreed with the U.S. stance, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s important to remember that Ukraine does have the legitimate right to defend itself. It has a legitimate right to do so within its own borders, of course, but it does also have the right to project force beyond its borders to undermine Russia&#8217;s ability to project force into Ukraine itself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, a senior member of the Kremlin Security Council, claimed that U.K. politicians are <a title=\"UK supports Ukraine's right to attack Russian territory, despite US concerns.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-endorses-ukraines-right-to-attack-russian-territory-despite-us-anxiety\/\">legitimate military targets<\/a> following Cleverly&#8217;s remarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US will provide Ukraine with its 39th military aid package, including munitions for the Patriot air defense system, Stinger anti-aircraft systems, ammunition for HIMARS, artillery, and anti-armor systems.
