Investing.com -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed concern on Tuesday about the implications of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s comments regarding long-range Ukrainian strikes into Russia with European weapons. Lavrov suggested that such a decision permitting these attacks may have been made in the past and kept undisclosed.
Chancellor Merz had previously stated that there were no longer any range restrictions on the weapons provided to Ukraine by Britain, France, Germany, and the United States. This declaration led Lavrov to question the caliber of individuals currently in power in leading European nations.
The Russian Foreign Minister inferred from Merz’s comments that a decision to allow long-range strikes against Russia may have been made previously, but was kept under wraps.
In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments about Russia, Lavrov stated that the president displayed emotion as he observed his peace efforts in Ukraine being undermined by European politicians.
