KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine will "test and use" any non-banned weapons to liberate its territory, including Russian-occupied Crimea, the head of its National Security and Defence Council said on Friday.
Oleksiy Danilov's comment comes with Kyiv expected to mount a counteroffensive in the coming weeks or months aimed at retaking Russian-held territory in the south and east.
"Crimea is the territory of Ukraine, and we will test and use there any weapons not prohibited by international laws, that will help liberate our territories," he tweeted.
Kyiv's Western partners have provided crucial military support, including modern battle tanks and armoured vehicles, since Russia's full-scale invasion last year.

Ukraine will not try to take Crimea. This is rhetoric and a feint.
Not even Ukrainians are that dumb.
“Ukraine will not try to take Crimea.”
That’s nice. Meanwhile your Russian friends are busy preparing to defend Crimea from the Ukrainians.

Why not?
The regime there is doing well from the war, and the people in the Ukraine are still willing to kill and be killed taking back real estate the regime has lost since the 2014 coup.
Plus the “west” no doubt has weapons it would like to test.
It’s a win/win.
80% of what is in US media is fake news and deep state spin on actual events...
We know there is a war going on. All sides generally agree where the front lines are. There have been hundreds of thousands killed. The USA is giving Ukraine a lot of money and weapons. Otherwise, that's about it.
The crackpots are becoming more bellicose. Panic must be setting in.
That is PRECISELY WHY they will not attempt it.
But your emotions run your brain, thus you cannot see it.
That should read “Ukraine will “test and use” any non-banned US weapons to liberate its territory.” Much like they will use as much of our money as need be to retake Crimea.
You know nothing.
You are correct but not only ours, many allied countries have contributed.
I hope they slaughter many more Russians
Just much more than you.
You who has never worn a uniform, never studied history or warcraft.
Let’s see who the crackpots were after this offensive. I don’t predict wars but certainly your beloved Russia will be up against it.
May they be slaughtered for their aggressions.
Nice to see a sensible reply on a Ukraine thread. They are rare.
Exactly. While fakes tell us Russia is victorious, Russia itself has been publicly discussing the vulnerability of Crimea for months.
We shall see That’s why those who want Russian victory are really upping their propaganda.
And yes that includes Tucker.
What a friggin’ joke. Reuters still blowing deep state smoke.
Yep, the Russian are so terrified that they built trenches, along with in place artillery pieces, along the western Crimean coast to stop an amphibious invasion by Ukraine’s non-existent landing ships carrying non-existent Marines trained in amphibious landings which the UA has never done.
The height of fear is readily apparent ... that or some contractor made a fortune funded by some Russian general siphoning funds.
My, my, such bloodlust.
Were you this bloodthirsty during the Iraqi, Serbian, Lybian, or Syrian interventions?
Russian defenses were overrun in Kherson. Not seeing why Crimea would be any different.
In any case the outcome of the matter will be revealed in its time.
You are correct.
