German Defence Ministry believes strikes on Russia should be discussed privately
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has commented on the debate over allowing Ukraine to use German weapons on the territory of Russia.
Source: European Pravda, citing the minister's statement quoted by Bild on Wednesday
Quote: "In the interests of military tactics and strategy, it should be clear that we should not publicly discuss what is possible, what is allowed, what we would like to see and what is not," said Pistorius.
"International law allows all of this. What is then settled in detail between states, as the chancellor said yesterday, is a settlement between states," the German minister added.
Details: Pistorius said he would like to keep this discussion out of the public eye.
"I don't believe that the Kremlin will tell us what it is ready to do and where it is ready to use what weapons," the minister said.
Background:
- Lately, the Western partners of Ukraine have been discussing a possible weakening of restrictions on the attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russia with Western weapons.
- Josep Borrell, Chief of EU Diplomacy, revealed that several European states do not object to the possibility of Ukraine using their weapons to strike targets in Russia.
- Emmanuel Macron, President of France, stated that Ukraine should be allowed to launch attacks on Russian territory. Finland did not put any restrictions on Ukraine striking Russia with Finnish armament either.
