Moscow has the means to respond to Berlin's decision to lift the restrictions on Ukrainian attacks with missiles provided by Germany, said Russian safety Council Secretary Sergei Szojgu.
Earlier this week German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that “There are no longer any restrictions on the scope of arms supplied to Ukraine, neither by the British nor by the French nor by us nor by the Americans.”In a separate interview on Wednesday, Merz said the deliveries of German Taurus missiles – which have a scope of 500 km and possibly can scope Moscow – are Kiev "in the sphere of opportunity".Speaking at the conference on Thursday, Szojgu stressed the inconsistency of Western Ukrainian supporters in the usage of long-range weapons.The administration of erstwhile U.S. president Joe Biden abolished restrictions on long-range attacks last November, and shortly thereafter followed in their footsteps Britain and France.Since then, Russian troops have countered a number of attacks into their territory, including US-delivered ATACMS missiles and British Storm Shadow missiles.Former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reluctantly approved deep attacks on Russia or supplied Ukraine with Taurus missiles for fear of escalation."There are many statements. They're all different. First they say they abolished restrictions, then they didn't.
Then they say they did it a long time ago... So did you or did you not?”
He said to the Shoigu, adding:
"we can besides endure restrictions on any things.
I will not make this, but we have our own limitations that we can bear in response."The Chancellor, who welcomed Vladimir Zelenski of Ukraine in Berlin on Wednesday, besides said that Germany would aid Kiev produce long-range weapons in Ukraine.
According to the German Ministry of Defence, a crucial part of the recently announced military aid to Ukraine of EUR 5.2 billion ($5.6 billion) will be allocated to this project.The high-ranking Russian diplomat Rodion Mirosznik stressed on Friday that any weapons manufacturing plant in Ukraine is legitimate targets for the Russian military and are subject to "clear destruction".Mirosznik, Ambassador-at-large of the Russian Ministry of abroad Affairs, whose task is to paper alleged war crimes of Kiev, besides said that Berlin's fresh actions show that “They are not seeking peace, [but] they are trying in all possible way to proceed the conflict in Ukraine, to proceed bloodshed”to distract people from problems in their own country.
