#Ukraine's use of German and other Western-supplied weapons to strike targets in #Russia will not "contribute to escalation," German Chancellor Olaf #Scholz told the Antenne Bayern radio station.
#Berlin has long opposed lifting the ban on Ukraine's use of Western weapons to target Russia, but reversed course at the end of May amid growing calls from Western leaders to lift the restrictions.
The German army plans to get 200,000 additional 155mm artillery shells worth about 880 million euros ($960 million) within its framework agreement with the defence firm #Rheinmetall. It had already agreed to a 1.2 billion euro deal for several hundred thousand shells, fuses and charges.
The new shells are meant to refill the army's depots as #Germany helps supply #Ukraine as it fights off the Russian military, which invaded in 2022.
Confirming shift of position, #Germany Chancellor Scholz says #Ukraine's use of German and other Western-supplied weapons to strike targets in #Russia "will not contribute to escalation"
"I think it is clear to everyone that [Ukraine self-defense] must be possible"
Some people say that in #Germany especially the older generation may be actually triggered by this violent threats from #Russia such as the one voiced by Solovyov about “burning German towns”. Is that really true? I have no idea, I’ve been to Germany plenty of time but didn’t really talk politics much… What do you think?
Two pro-Russian activists in #Germany, whose ties to the #Kremlin were revealed in a Reuters investigation last year, have left Germany and moved to #Russia the couple’s lawyer said in a statement on Monday.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine in 2022, Elena #Kolbasnikova and her romantic partner Max #Schlund have been active in Germany, organising pro-Kremlin rallies to urge #Berlin to abandon its military support to #Kyiv.
