German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has announced that Germany, and perhaps other Western allies, would be removing range restrictions on Western-supplied missiles to Ukraine:
“We will do everything in our power to continue supporting Ukraine. This also means no longer having any range restrictions on the weapons we supply. Ukraine can now also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia.”
For his part, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called the decision “rather dangerous,” adding,
“if such decisions are made, they will absolutely go against our aspirations to reach a political settlement and the efforts being made within the framework of the settlement.”
