Scholtz called the reason for the Armed Forces permission to attack the territory of the Russian Federation with German weapons

According to the Chancellor of Germany, Ukraine has a legitimate right to protect against attacks on its own territory. German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz commented on its decision to grant Ukraine permission to use German weapons for blows on targets in the Russian Federation. The politician told about it during a speech to the Bundestag deputies, informs Bild. "According to international law, Ukraine has the right to defend itself against attacks on its territory, its cities and citizens.

This also applies to such attacks as in the Kharkiv area, which Russia is carrying out from positions directly adjoining the Russian border," - said the head of German government. It should be reminded that after long thought, the German authorities gave Ukraine permission to use German weapons for blows for goals in the Russian territory. It is worth noting that Berlin agreed after Washington went to this step. Recall that on May 31, Germany allowed Ukraine to attack Russia with its weapons.

At the same time, Der Spiegel wrote that the Federal Government also allowed Ukraine to fire the territory of Russia with military equipment set from Germany. The decision is the result of a recent strengthening of Russian attacks in the border zone of Kharkiv region. On June 4, Olaf Scholtz stated that he does not think that the strikes that Ukraine will be made in the Russian Federation, which is delivered from Germany, would cause escalation.
