Western Allies Lift Restrictions on Ukraine's Long-Range Weapons Use in Conflict Against Russia
ai generated text
Germany has lifted range restrictions on the weapons it delivers to Ukraine to aid in its fight against Russia. This decision has been confirmed by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who stated that there are no longer restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine. Ukraine is using these weapons to target Russian military infrastructure.
Until recently, it couldn't do that, and apart from very few exceptions, it hadn't done so either.
If even an offer to meet at the Vatican does not get [Putin's] approval, then we must be prepared for this war to last longer than we all wish or can imagine.
Nobody can now reproach us for not having exhausted all the diplomatic means available to us.
Russia attacks civilian targets completely ruthlessly, bombing cities, kindergartens, hospitals and old people's homes - Ukraine doesn't do that.
Putin obviously sees offers of talks as a sign of weakness.
We call it in the jargon 'long-range fire, which is to say to equip Ukraine with weapons with which it can strike at military goals beyond its borders.
There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either.
If these decisions have indeed been made, they are completely at odds with our aspirations for a political settlement.
