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.

    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.
