KYIV, Ukraine — The German government says Ukraine can use weapons it delivers against attacks from positions just over the Russian border.
“Together we are convinced that Ukraine has the right under international law to defend itself against these attacks,” the statement said. Ukrainian officials have previously accused Russia of targeting rescue workers by hitting residential buildings with two consecutive missiles — the first one to draw emergency crews to the scene and the second one to wound or kill them. The tactic is called a “double tap” in military jargon. Russia used the same method in Syria’s civil war.
The Kremlin’s bigger and better-equipped army is exploiting Ukrainian shortages in troops and ammunition after a lengthy delay in U.S. military aid. Western Europe’s inadequate military production has slowed crucial deliveries of military aid to Ukraine. That restriction has frustrated Ukrainian officials as the military is unable to order hits on Russian troops massing across the border — Kharkiv city is only 20 kilometers from Russia — or Russian bases used to launch missile attacks.
