Scholz said it was unreasonable to use weapons supplied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack Russia

He noted that Berlin's actions are permissible.

“However, at the same time, it always remains right to be smart, so it would not be very reasonable if now the one who uses the weapons that we supply, for example, would attack Russian territory,” TASS quotes Scholz in an interview with the TV channel ZDF.

Earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine, former Ambassador to Germany Andriy Melnyk called on the German authorities to provide Kyiv with all possible types of weapons, including aircraft and ballistic missiles.

He also stated that Germany could supply Kyiv with ten times more tanks than the promised 14.

The American Democratic politician, candidate for governor of Kentucky, Jeffrey Young, then called Melnik a war criminal.
