China News Service, February 5 (Xinhua) according to Agence France-Presse, German Chancellor Scholz said on the 5th local time that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed that weapons provided by the West would not be used to strike Russian territory.
According to reports, Scholz said in an interview with the media, "There is a consensus on this point."
Data map: Workers at Boryspil Airport in Kyiv, Ukraine, are unloading military aid materials provided by the United States to Ukraine.
"We worked with our allies to provide Ukraine with main battle tanks so that it could defend itself. We also carefully weighed every weapon in close coordination with our allies, starting with the United States," Scholz said.
This consensus-based approach "avoids escalation," he noted.
But Venislavski, a member of the National Security, Defense and Intelligence Committee of the Ukrainian parliament, believes that Kyiv will not guarantee that Western technology and equipment will not be used against Russian targets.
According to the Russian Satellite Network report, Venislavsky said in an interview with the German "Bild", "Some Western experts have an idea that Ukraine should promise not to use its own military technology and equipment on Russian territory. This is The idea of parallel worlds."
Venislavski believes that all places where Russia keeps its own ammunition are legitimate Ukrainian military targets.
This also applies to Moscow, he added.
But he did not answer a question about whether Ukraine would strike those targets.
"It's up to our military leadership," he explained.
Following weeks of continued pressure from Ukraine and its European allies, the German government has announced that it will be supplying Ukraine with Leopard 2 main battle tanks from the Bundeswehr stockpile.
At the same time, as the producer of the "Leopard" tank, Germany also allows third countries that own the "Leopard" tank to "quickly" provide the tank to Ukraine.
