The decision runs counter to Moscow’s efforts to find a peaceful settlement with Kiev, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
The reported decision by Ukraine’s Western backers to lift restrictions on Kiev’s use of long-range weapons runs counter to Russia’s efforts toward a peaceful settlement of the conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
Peskov made the remarks in response to comments by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said Ukraine is no longer subject to range limitations on Western-supplied weaponry.
“If such decisions have indeed been made, they are entirely at odds with our aspirations for a political resolution and with the efforts currently being made toward a settlement,” Peskov stated.
“Quite dangerous decisions, again – if they were indeed made,” he stressed.
Merz told the EuropaForum event on Monday that there are no longer any range restrictions on the use of weapons delivered to Ukraine against Russian military targets.
“There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us [Germany],” Merz said, as quoted by Euronews. “There are no restrictions by the US either,” he added.
