"I think it is exactly the step that cannot be made if you have the responsibility for Germany," German chancellor noted. BERLIN, February 10. /TASS/. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said it would be wrong if his country sent weapons to Ukraine that could be used for strikes inside Russia. "I think it is wrong for us to send weapons [to Ukraine] that have a major destructive power for strikes deep inside Russia. I think it is exactly the step that cannot be made if you have the responsibility for Germany," the chancellor said during election debates with his main rival Friedrich Merz from the conservative CSU/CDU bloc. Earlier, Scholz opposed the idea of supplying Kiev with Taurus cruise missiles that have a range of around 500 km. The German head of government has stated that sending such weapons carries major escalation risks. Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in late November that Moscow had repeatedly pointed out that the use of Western long-range weapons on Russian soil would mean direct NATO involvement in the conflict.
