German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz spoke out against granting the Ukrainian Armed Forces the right to strike deep into the Russian Federation.
The German Chancellor made the corresponding statement on November 13, speaking in the Bundestag.
TASS quotes Scholz's words.
The German Chancellor once again stated that Germany will not supply Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.
I am against the idea that the weapons we supply could be used to strike deep into Russian territory, Scholz emphasized.
The head of the German government called for everything to be done to avoid escalation.
Scholz also stated that support for Ukraine should not come at the expense of the future of Germany.
According to him, aid to Ukraine should not affect pensions, healthcare and investments in infrastructure modernization.
Not with me, ” added the German Chancellor.
Earlier, Scholz accused the dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner of wanting to finance aid to Ukraine at the expense of pensions for Germans.
