Germany’s Merz says Western allies no longer impose range limits on Ukrainian weapons
Source Le Monde
The German chancellor said on Monday that the lifting of these restrictions will allow Ukraine to strike military positions in Russia and added that his government would strategically no longer detail what arms it is sending to Ukraine.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday, May 26, that Germany, along with Ukraine’s other key Western backers, had lifted range restrictions on weapons they send to Kyiv to fight against Russia. Merz, who took office early this month, also vowed that “we will do everything in our power to continue supporting Ukraine, including militarily,” in close coordination with other supporters.
“There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons delivered to Ukraine – neither by the British nor by the French nor by us nor by the Americans,” he said. “This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military positions in Russia… With very few exceptions, it didn’t do that until recently. It can now do that.”
Editors note
This escalation in the war means that Russia will take all of Ukraine at some point soon. Russia will no longer feel restricted as this is essentially NATO declaring war on Russia. It would not surprise me if Russia strikes into Europe itself next.
