German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany would not prohibit Ukrainian attacks on Russian military targets, saying Ukraine “is allowed to defend itself.”
The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the French President Emmanuel Macron showed their joint support for Ukraine during a Franco-German defence and security council in Meseberg on Tuesday.
Whilst Chancellor Scholz had previously been firm on Ukraine not using Western weapons to strike Russian targets, he made a step in the direction of Macron, on the third and last day of the French president’s historic state visit to Germany.
Both leaders put their disagreements aside and compromised on the divisive subject of EU defence.
They allowed to attack military targets in internationally recognized Russia yet? Permission to do that would really help undermine logistics and concentrations.
So yes.
That’s what, I think, Russian targets mean in this context.
