The German government is cautiously abandoning doubts about allowing Ukraine to strike military targets on Russian territory using transferred weapons.
Permission for Ukraine to strike the Russian Federation
According to Politico, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Ukraine can use the weapons that his country transferred within the framework of international law. In fact, this will make it possible to use weapons against the aggressor state of Russia.
Speaker of the German federal government Steffen Gebestreit told reporters that Ukraine’s defensive actions are not limited to its own territory, and can extend to the territory of the aggressor country.

However, he emphasized that he could not talk about the exact agreements with Ukraine on the use of weapons provided by Germany, because this is confidential information.
The publication quotes the words of a person familiar with the position of the German government, who stated that Chancellor Olaf Scholz supports the position of allowing Ukraine to use Western weapons against targets inside Russia.
