The German Ministry of Defense stated that Kyiv can use German weapons at its own discretion, since “from the moment of their transfer they become the property of Ukraine.”
Ministry spokesman Arnbo Kollatz also recalled that international law provides for the possibility of conducting military operations on the territory of an aggressor country in order to defend one’s own state.
Once the weapons from Germany have been transferred to Ukraine, they already belong to Ukraine, they are Ukrainian weapons… There are no obstacles, so Ukraine is free to choose its options, the officer said, adding that Ukraine is obliged to adhere to international law.
Kollatz clarified that the use of long-range weapons is another political issue, but in this case it is not at issue.
Federal Government Deputy Spokesman Wolfgang Büchner, in turn, said that Berlin is consulting intensively with its closest allies and with the government in Kyiv regarding the “specific weapons systems” that Ukraine uses.
