#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.

Phillips P. OBrien (@PhillipsPOBrien): "The insanity of US policy is that if Ukraine could strike with US systems the bases where these attacks were planned, the US position is not to let them. It’s making this war more horrible and providing sanctuary to Russian forces. It’s time that it ends." | nitter.poast.org

In German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's SPD party, voices began to be heard for Western troops to take part in the defense against Russian airstrikes in Ukraine.

"In the current military situation, I consider it necessary and responsible to deploy German anti-aircraft missile forces on NATO territory on the border with Ukraine in order to protect the airspace over Western Ukraine - for example, with the help of Patriot systems," SPD defense expert Joe Weingarten said.

🇩🇪🤔 "Olaf Scholz must decide whether he wants Ukraine to win the war or not", - Ben Wallace

🚀 Instead of ruling out Taurus deliveries, Scholz should cite conditions that could justify Taurus deliveries, citing Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure as an example. Better than saying 'no, I'm not going to deliver them' is to say 'we're constantly monitoring the situation, and if Russia continues, we'll look into it', he said.

Oh, cool. So it's ok if an enemy rocket is flying through #Poland airspace, as long as it's flying to #Ukraine. "We could have taken the rocket, but we decided not to, cause it was not threatening Poland". I thought the fact that an enemy rocket is flying through your airspace is enough reason to hit it, but no. Poland is ready to let #Russia use it to bomb us. As long as it's not Ukrainian grain coming into Poland — they're fine. #war

Spectacular footage:

This was even a triple strike. The Russian air defense completely failed to intercept those three (I assume Stormshadow / SCALP-EG) missiles.

China's three largest banks refused to accept payments from Russia

Chinese banks Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), China Construction Bank (CCB) and Bank of China have stopped accepting payments from Russian credit institutions

The US-China trade balance is significantly higher than that between Russia and China, so banks and state-owned corporations are refusing risky transactions because of sanctions.
