Kremlin to release weapons: « Merz winds up a lot now »
Merz defends reach for weapons
The German Federal Chancellor Merz defends the decision to cancel range restrictions on the use of German weapons for Ukraine. « Only those who are also able to attack military bases that are also on the territory of the attacker can defend themselves, » he said after a conversation with the Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo in the city of Turku.
Merz continues that he has described something in Berlin « something that has been happening for months that Ukraine has the right to use the weapons that they are delivered to also use its own national borders against military goals in Russian territory. » That is necessary. You couldn’t defend yourself enough on your own territory. « In this respect, Ukraine has been able to really be able to defend itself against Russian aggression for a long time. » The Finnish Prime Minister Orpo praised Germany’s commitment in the support of Ukraine. His decision to significantly increase defense expenditure is a historical turning point for all of Europe.
