Ukraine’s military operations in Russia’s Kursk Oblast will not affect its EU accession path European Union, as Kyiv has every right to self-defense against an aggressor, EU spokesperson Peter Stano said on Aug. 20.

Stano emphasized that the fighting on Russian territory is solely the result of the illegal actions of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

“Ukraine has every right to defend itself, and this has no connection to the EU accession process, as that is a separate path being forged between Ukraine and the European Union,” Stano said.
