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.

Bad headline. What it’s talking about is whether or not Ukraine can use the weapons Germany and France gave them to do so.
They are already attacking military targets and France and Germany couldn’t do shit about it even if they wanted to, which they don’t.
couldn’t do shit about it even if they wanted to
Of course they could. Halt the deliveries of weapons for one. It’s in Ukraines best interest to keep good relations with the West, something Ukraine takes very seriously.
Yup. “Strike Russian targets” is not the same as “strike targets in Russia”. Huge difference.
Good, Russia is whining about this means it’s the right thing. Honestly everything should be game for Ukraine since Russia is the aggresor. They could just fuck off Ukraine and not be bothered.
As Luis C.K said, of course it’s a terrible tragedy if you go to war and get shot, but maybe if you invade another country and get shot by the guy you were just shooting at, its not that weird.
They allowed to attack military targets in internationally recognized Russia yet? Permission to do that would really help undermine logistics and concentrations.
Kyiv should be allowed to hit military sites inside Russia but not other targets
So yes.
