Germany to Aid Ukraine in Missile Production: Raising Tensions with Russia

Germany's military aid to Ukraine sparks tensions with Russia. Germany has pledged support to Ukraine for the production of long-range missiles, a move that has raised concerns in Russia. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the weapons could be used against Russian targets. "The military aid will not be limited to Ukrainian territory," Merz announced. This decision is seen by both Ukraine and Germany as a significant step towards greater military cooperation. However, Russia is seeking a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict. The situation is further complicated by the potential impact on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. The ongoing conflict and the implications of this decision remain a major focus for international relations.
