German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has stated that he is against the use of weapons supplied to Ukraine for strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation, according to NTV.

He emphasized that he currently sees no reason to allow Ukraine to use weapons supplied from Germany on Russian territory.

Scholz stressed that there are clear rules agreed with Ukraine regarding the supply of German weapons, and they are working. He also stated that the goal of his policy towards Ukraine is to prevent this from turning into a major war. […]
