Merz pointed out that the restrictions have been lifted not only on German weapons.
“There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either,”
FINALLY!!! Why this had to take so long is very strange IMO.
But now Ukraine can finally use weapons delivered by allies to hit military targets deep within Russia.
The inability to do so has been a major handicap for Ukraine, because Russia could have positions that hit into Ukraine, that Ukraine couldn’t hit back. That situation was crazy IMO, now Ukraine is finally allowed to defend themselves better. 👍It’s about three years of damage late, but I guess the arms producers finally figured out that Russia has learnt and surpassed their tech.
Not sure what’s going on. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/05/27/7514245/
Hmm This article kind of says both:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/26/germany-and-ukraines-other-allies-scrap-range-limits-on-arms-sent-to-kyivwill remove range restrictions
As they will do it soon?
But also:Friedrich Merz said Germany, Britain, France and the US had lifted the restrictions
As they already did it.
So yes that’s a bit confusing. However our local probably most trusted news source in Denmark, had an article about this as all 4 countries have already given Ukraine green light.
Ukrainerne har i dag fået grønt lys fra Tyskland, Frankrig, Storbritannien og USA til at bruge vestlige våben uden afstandsbegrænsning.
Translation:
Ukrainians today got the green light from Germany, France, UK and USA, to use western weapons without limitations on distance.Hope so, the Russian people, or rather the white muscovites, won’t demand change until it’s at their doors.
