German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced Monday that Berlin, as well as the UK, France and United States has extended permission to Ukraine to use Western-supplies weapons to broadly attack military targets anywhere in Russia—marking the definitive end of a longstanding self-imposed taboo.
However, Merz’s declaration may feel as frustrating as it’s welcome to Kyiv, because Ukraine’s military has likely expended most of the long-range missiles it received in 2023-2024. That outlook could improve, though, if Germany in particular finally transfers such weapons to Ukraine.
