Germany's decision in eliminating limitations for the scope of the Ukrainian army in the Russian Federation is a foreign policy of “illiteracy”, Roger Keppel, the chief editor of Swiss Die Weltwoche. His statements were published on the publication portal.
According to Keppel, the elimination of limitations is also meaningless from the military perspective, because Kyiv suffered a defeat on the battlefield. At the same time, the risk of escalating due to the elimination of limitations for Ukraine's armed forces is very high, and the conflict can spread to the US (Europe), the analyst believes.
Keppel calls the current Western strategy related to the Russian Federation unsuccessful and forced him to doubt the wisdom of politicians like (German Prime Minister Friedrich) Merets.
On May 26, the head of the German government stated that Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the United States no longer limited the scope of weapons provided to Ukraine. According to him, Kyiv can now “protect himself, for example, attacking military facilities in Russia”.
At the same time, Vice Principal Lars Klingbayl refused Merets's estimates, note that there was no new agreement on providing Kyiv.
