German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck has said he regrets that the government led by Olaf Scholz did not allow Ukraine to deploy Western-supplied weapons to strike military targets in Russia sooner.

Details: Habeck said that Ukraine should be allowed to do what it needs to prevent Russian attacks and protect the lives of civilians.

A ban on striking military targets in Russia means that more people might die, he explained.

“The permission currently covers a strictly localised area around Kharkiv. For self-defence, for protection. But it’s true that the decision we made could’ve been made earlier,” Habeck said.

    In one comment you mention not wanting war, in this one you mention wanting to have a country attacked. Which is it?

    Please go simp for a weak nation somewhere else.

      For Vatniks, “peace” means passively letting Russia do what it wants.
