US EditionWestern allies lift Ukraine's restrictions on long-range weapons, says Merz
- On Monday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced that Germany and its Western allies have removed all limitations on the distance that weapons sent to Ukraine can reach in its conflict with Russia.
- This change follows Germany's leadership transition from Olaf Scholz, whose government opposed sending long-range Taurus missiles due to escalation concerns.
- Merz confirmed that Britain, France, the US, and Germany now allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons like Storm Shadow and ATACMS against Russian military targets.
- Merz noted that Ukraine is now able to protect itself by targeting Russian military sites, a move Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described as highly risky.
- The removal of range limits suggests increased Western military support but risks complicating diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, as warned by Russian officials.
