Germany Lifts Weapon Limits for Ukraine Despite Russian Nuclear Warnings

In a stunning escalation, Germany's new Chancellor Friedrich Merz has officially removed all range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine granting Kyiv the green light to strike deep into Russian territory. The move, announced Monday, marks a dangerous new phase in the already volatile war, ignoring direct nuclear threats from Moscow.

"We will do everything in our power to continue supporting Ukraine. This also means no longer having any range restrictions on the weapons we supply," Merz declared on X. "Ukraine can now also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia."

The announcement means weapons from Germany, the U.S., Britain, and France can now be used by Ukraine to launch strikes well behind enemy lines an action certain to draw a sharp response from Vladimir Putin’s regime.

This is not just about defending Ukrainian borders anymore. It’s an aggressive shift in posture that risks dragging NATO further into open confrontation with a nuclear-armed adversary. The Kremlin immediately issued a stark warning, saying any Western nation lifting such restrictions could be treated as an enemy combatant.

• Russia has launched over 300 missile and drone attacks on Ukraine just this month alone, intensifying the war.

• Moscow responded by threatening any nation enabling long-range strikes with retaliation, explicitly invoking the specter of nuclear escalation.

• Merz’s decision, despite his recent push for a ceasefire, reflects a larger trend in Europe toward riskier, more provocative interventions.

At a forum hosted by German state broadcaster WDR, Merz reinforced his stance "We call this ‘long-range fire’... supplying Ukraine with weapons that attack military targets in the hinterland."

While Merz cloaks this decision in the language of democratic defense, the implications are unmistakable. He’s playing with fire and the fallout may not be confined to Eastern Europe. Just last week, Merz posted that German freedoms are “being attacked from within and without like never before.” But instead of defending Germany’s stability, he’s now pouring gasoline on a global tinderbox.

What’s clear is that this isn’t just about helping Ukraine anymore it’s about ideological obsession overriding strategic caution. Western elites seem increasingly comfortable pushing the world closer to the edge of a global war, all under the banner of “freedom” and “democracy.” But at what cost?

The American people need to pay attention. Joe Biden, who has blindly supported the endless funding of this war, could find himself dragged into a hot conflict with Russia one triggered not by a direct attack on the U.S., but by reckless decisions made in Berlin, Paris, and Brussels.

And don’t forget: it’s our weapons, our money, and potentially our soldiers next.
