The Netherland has supplied Ukraine with 200 FIM-92 Stinger air defence rockets and 50 Panzerfaust 3 anti-tank systems. Ukraine is free to strike targets inside Russia with Dutch weapons if it can as Kajsa Ollongren said.
Key backers including the United States and Germany have been reluctant to permit Kyiv to strike targets in Russia out of fear that it could drag them closer to direct conflict with Moscow.
Dutch minister Kajsa Ollongren said the Netherlands had no restrictions and that she hoped "other countries that have different positions will change that".
"It is quite feasible that they have to strike also inside Russia," Ollongren said.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday urged countries to balance fear of escalation against Ukraine's need to defend itself, saying Kyiv had the right to use Western arms to strike in Russia.
