Denmark will allow Ukraine to use F-16 jets to strike targets in Russia, Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Thursday.

"The short answer is yes. And this is not a new position. It is a part of the donation. When we have discussed that with our foreign affairs committee in the Danish parliament, we have made it clear from the very outset that it is a part of self-defense to possibly also attack military installations in the aggressor's territory," Rasmussen told reporters ahead of meetings of the Foreign Affairs Council on Trade and the Transport, Telecommunications, and Energy Council.

Meanwhile, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is cautiously moving towards allowing Ukraine to use Western-supplied weapons to strike military targets within Russia's internationally recognized territory, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing a source.
While some countries, such as Poland, have already voiced their agreement with Ukraine attacking targets deep in Russian territory with Western-donated weapons, Scholz is also in favor of giving such permission on behalf of Germany, a source told Politico without providing any further details.
However, Vladimir Putin has recently launched a warning to the Western states that are encouraging Ukrainian attacks against Russia: "NATO should be aware of what they are playing at," he cautioned.
