Ukraine allowed to use Western weapons in striking targets within 100km inside Russia | DW News

- A joint statement by NATO's 32 members says that Ukraine is on a quote 'irreversible' path to membership. At the alliance's 75th anniversary summit, they also pledged 40 billion euros of aid to Kyiv next year. But most of that aid is set to come from the bloc's largest member, the US. And with NATO-sceptic Donald Trump challenging President Biden in November's election, there's no assurance of long-term funding.
For more on this, we cross over to Brussels and speak with Ian Lesser. He's a Distinguished Fellow at the German Marshall Fund and his areas of expertise include US foreign policy and NATO.
We also talk to Gustav Gressel, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, he joins us from Berlin.

A friend does not make you fight for your life with one hand tied behind your back 😢😢
I agree it's time to remove the restrictions, if it's a military target it should be fair game.
So you are finally realizing that the US isn't actually Ukraine's friend?
@@michaelwilson9921 the USA is Ukraine's friend, but there is an unstable person leading the enemy. I am sure the wait was to confirm that Putin was full of empty threats...regardless I think the military strategy of artillery restrictions is ridiculous because of what is at stake.
They do that when it’s for your own good
@@michaelwilson9921 I'm reporting you for posting misinformation!
A military target is a military target!
What nonsense is it that there are limitations of 100km?!?!
trying to avoid full scale war i guess

@OOyouiweOO they have plenty of scrap metal from all the destroyed Ruskie tanks.
If they were to use, lets say weapons supplied by Poland to attack Russia. Wouldnt Poland become a target for Russia?
Yes, no country wants to become complicit with the war. They have their own country to protect.

Yes😅
Then it turns into a real war, Ukraine doesn’t want that
Ukraine is screwed. It's been defeated already and it won't defeat Russia with missiles.
You think Russia is not restraining itself? Their nkes is just patiently waiting to be used somewhere in Ukraine,
There are strategic targets, and there are children's hospitals. Where is the sense of civilian institutions being targeted without hitting back at the sites where the missiles are coming from?

Imagine if the USA had said to Britain in 1940 that they can attack german soldiers in France but not more than 100 kms from the border.
@@Matthew-rp3jf now explain logic
They didnt have nukes. If Germany had nukes Britain would not declare war ok Geemany of course.
Why should Ukranian soldiers hide among civilians? Israel has the right to defend itself even if it means killing 40000 civilians in a small region.
@@sergeybebenin German bombers did not fly from bases in Germany to attack Britain. They flew from occupied land. If the UK had been forced to use US munitions and was fighting with similar 'rules' then things would have been very silly. But we did not have those rules and could attack the German industrial base within Germany.
@@everTriumphyou keep forgetting one thing.. We have nuclear weapons now, and Russia is the biggest nuclear power with the most sophisticated systems. Don't be foolish to think that Russia will not use it if necessary, and NATO knows it.. But apparently they're running out of possibilities and heading towards a disaster.
The decision to use Long Range ATACAMS or indeed Storm Shadow/Scalp missiles lies with the sclerotic Jake Sullivan and Lloyd Austin, but ultimately the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), a U.S. four-star general. The current Commander is General Christopher G. Cavoli (Army). Who is delaying the decision.? I don't know, but it's infuriating. 😡
Sullivan and several lobbyists/scholars who have his ear most likely. The latter are advocating the bare minimum assistance to Ukraine because they don't believe the country will win even with everything they require. USA strategy of " phoning it in " is doomed to failure.
Incorrect. The decision on what restrictionas are placed on Storm Shadow rests with the UK, SCALP with France, and US-made weapons ultimately with POTUS. SACEUR is not going to make political decisions like that. Not his remit.
@@andrewlockett4569 Apparently there is one group that has reportedly been tasked by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan - the consummate A-student with a stellar resume - to engage in back-channel negotiations with the Kremlin. The trio consists of Richard Haass, Thomas Graham, and Charles Kupchan, all former US government advisors and think-tank denizens who tend toward the “grand bargains forged by great powers” school of political science. This interference and slow-walking of equipment stinks like a bag of prawns in the sun..!!
Not what if! Ukraine should be allowed to defend!
Defend what in particular?
Money laundering, human trafficking or perhaps Nazism?
with their missiles so far they have defended against civilians on crimean beaches and Donetsk tower blocks, who knows how much damage those civilians could do to the zelensky regime!!!

Are you ready for war? You signed up? It's dumb I agree but we shouldn't be letting Ukraine strike Russian territory at all! That's how we get into a very bad war. This conflict is not going the way our media is spinning it.
Don't believe the hype about Russia sucking either. Their weapons kill just like ours. Google todays article about how Russia is jamming our equipment being sent into Ukraine. Think about why this wars still going with everything we've sent already. Watch the battlefield updates.... numerous people cover it.

Screw Putin but we really need to negotiate a settlement in Ukraine and make Europe step up their defense.

DW talking about poorly trained Russian soldiers? Compared to the super soldiers of Ukraine that are dragged from the streets? How much professional training do those super soldiers get DW? Could you try to explain? What good soldiers are left in Ukraine since the beginning?
When ignorance is bliss it's foolish to be wise
Ukraine striking deeper into Russia means Russia give Kiev the Gaza treatment 😢
Russia has nothing left, if Ukraine strikes deeper into their territory all they can do is watch and beg North Korea and Iran for more weapons.
They've been trying. Same in Kharkiv. Fortunately for people living there, so far, UKR GBAD have largely prevented that sort of thing.
The term "crocodile tears" refers to an insincere display of emotion, particularly sorrow.
The phrase is used to describe someone who is pretending to be upset or remorseful when they are not genuinely feeling those emotions.

@@theapple3160 Ypu're asuming Russia is holding back voluntarily, rather than being *incapable* of flying the sort of strike campaign Israel is flying in Gaza. My read of the situation is that Russa *does not have the capablity* to execute that sort of air campaign, given Ukrainian GBAD . . . but if they could, they would.
Soon there will be most of russian assets moved to 150 km from the border. NATO should not restrict the range of donated weapons!
NATO wants to prolong the war, they don't war to end soon
Every country need the 'alternative' weapon...
even with 100km, it will still help Ukraine tremendously. Russia supply depot will need to be further from the frontline
This won’t help
I would guess the cost and time effort to move everything back could justify incremental increases of range.

You should remember what happened to the Soviets. They imploded.

Regardless of what actions are taken, it will not change the situation for Ukraine; it will only encourage more Russians to join the fight. The only viable path for Ukraine in this war is through negotiation. No amount of weapons or financial support will ever be sufficient to secure a definitive victory for Ukraine. Prolonging the conflict with military aid and resources will only result in further devastation and loss of life without altering the fundamental dynamics of the war. Pursuing diplomatic solutions is the most pragmatic and humane approach to ending the hostilities.
Russian talking points. Read Medvedevs latest rant in which he says regardless of a "peace treaty" Russia intends to conquer all of Ukraine. Russia is a Fascist dictatorship and can not be trusted. Period.
I give as much credence to Ukraine's membership to NATO as I give it to the creation of a Sovereign Palestinian State under US Two State Solution within the ambit of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

I mean, Putin wasn't able to win his 3-day war in more then 2 years now. Looks pretty weak and pathetic to me. He isn't going to step down though, someone from his team needs to take him out.
So it’s clear again that NATO wants Ukraine to hold the fight for as long as their manforce allow. Why not going all the way in and actually believing they can win ?
This guy is delusional Ukraine has zero chance of doing anything and if you have to ask a country that is across an Ocean where you van fight a war its already pointless
If you allow 100km within Rusia, adding to the Ukrainian territory means the logistics get really constrained, but airports of Russia are far

A cynic might say -- why doesn't NATO want Ukrain to win the war ?
No one should scream foul when consequences kick in
In many ways these imposed constraints on Ukraine's defensive weapons use seem to be prolonging this conflict.
But has also prevented escalation into Russia-NATO war, not mentioning Putin arming the West's foes with forbidden weapons.
The latter will happen anyway, as Putin and Xi and BRICS push on to actualize a multipolar world.
You believe in this nonsense you wrote don't you?
Biden family is making business with weapons trafficking, this is why they prolong the war avoiding a Russian defeat. Last but not least, Israel is highly influential in US foreign policy, and Israel has strong ties with Russia, as most of the Russian oligarchs have Israeli passports and they are money laundering in Israel the money they steal ; Israel doesn’t follow the sanctions, has vetoed the sending of Israeli weapons to Ukraine by the Baltic countries and sell weapons to Russia. And if Israel doesn’t want a Russian defeat , US hall follow it. Even Netanyahu has publicly bragged about how all the US politicians are his lakeys.
Huh? You actually think that Ukraine would win this war?…..😂😂😂
People have been saying that for years … seems like some of you are finally realizing that
Which will help most to Ukraine in war against Russia?
A) India condemn Russia
B) West allow Ukraine to hit any target in Russia
Imagine a world with no United States. Now, Imagine a world with no Russian Federation. You get to pick only one or leave the world as is. What do you choose?
Fair enough, Russia is allowed to strike 100 Km inside NATO territory
NATO is giving limited support to Ukraine, not striking Russia. Similar to the support russia is getting from North Korea, Iran and China to some degree. Shall we drag all of them into direct conflict as well then?
@@larrysteinke1839 One cannot reason with a person turning a blind eye to the reality they don't want to experience as such. Actually Putin has been doing that long before "his redlines" have supposedly been crossed. Russian regime is nothing but a wolf in sheep's fleece.

DID NOT KNOW UKRAINE HAS TO ASK PERMISSION TO ATTACK RUSSIA?
F16 this, F16 that. Unless NATO provides pilots, the F16 will simply be targets for the Russians. Teaching a pilot to effectively operate a complex weapon system like the F16 takes years. Then, there is the issue of where will Ukraine operate the F16’s from. We are NOT talking about a Gripen that can operate from austere distributed fields. The F16 NEEDS secure bases to operate from, and teams of dedicated service personnel! Up to now, Ukraine has been flying from one base, landing at another, then moving the aircraft to another base, just to hide the aircraft from the Russians.
Also, there is the issue of weapons for the F16. How many of them can even deploy AIM120C? Never mind where the Ukrainians will find those missiles. Sorry…. F16 will not be effective for a long time to come.
As Russia is an enormously large country going all the way to the Pacific, it would cause some more damage in Russia, but nothing fatal. However, it would certainly make the Russian people even more rally 'round the flag, thereby strengthening Putin's standing and the war effort, and it would trigger even more massive devastating retaliatory strikes on Ukraine, which would make it even more difficult for Ukraine to get through the next winter. In a nutshell, it would be counterproductive.
Russia is restricting it's strikes not because it doesn't want but because it can't for one or other reason.
And btw most of Russia is around Moscow and south of it. Eastern part is mostly empty.

Australia has never put any restrictions on where Ukraine can use donated weapons and munitions. So why didn’t Ukraine accept two squadrons of FA-18s, and another two squadrons of Taipans that hadn’t any NATO restrictions? The example would have at least given NATO something to think about, in the same way when Ukraine was using Australian drones before well inside Russia before any others.
More f16s than f18 in Europe
@@kreb7 It’s not a matter of choosing one over the other. The question is that, why did Ukraine not accept four squadrons of aircraft that don’t have the NATO restrictions? The FA-18s would have given them the range inside Russia that NATO won’t allow them.
So that’s what happened with Australia not giving 40 serviceable but mothballed FA-18s to Ukraine. Thought might have been some legal or diplomatic reason. Ukraine didn’t want them? Think Australia has now buried the jets.
@@seanlander9321 Logistical reasons, probably. It will be difficult for them to manage and train for several types of Western aircraft. They will probably have to adopt Mirage 2000 (because they are starting to run out of Su-24s); but they will prefer to avoid more variety.
@@petersinclair3997 Actually the jets were combat ready. Canada had earlier plugged its capability gap in NATO by buying 25 of them for $500.0M. The Taipans though, that was weird, the Ukrainians were told they had three months to decide on whether they wanted them and all Australia got in reply was crickets. When the scrapping of the Taipans started, Budanov made a personal written plea to get them. Since when does a spy master get involved in procurement? The stuff ups by Ukraine’s bureaucracy are inexplicable, and they have zero interest in Australia’s retired Abrams tanks too.

The Ukrainian conflict was predicted by US academics, politicians and other experts, based on Western behaviour and policy. A predictable war is also an avoidable war. The war was not avoided and here we are. My issue is with Western behaviour and policy since the beginning of the conflict. Ukraine wanted both aircraft and tanks early on in the conflict. How did the West react to Ukraine's request? Dithering and vacillating. Early on in the conflict Poland wanted to give Leopard tanks to Ukraine but Germany disallowed the move. The West was full of sanctimonious lectures aimed at India and China for buying Russian oil while the West was still buying fossil fuel and nuclear fuel. The West has always been oblivious to its duplicity, hypocrisy and double standards. Despite not paying heed to their own sanctions, the West dragged its feet on applying sanctions. Only recently, the EU rolled out its thirteenth sanction package after two years of war. Why not apply all sanctions from day one of the conflict. This piecemeal application of sanctions allowed Russia time to adjust to said sanctions. It gets even better. The West gives Ukraine missiles, but with a list of limitations. Endless dithering and vacillating regarding the range of these missiles. Restrictions as to how and where these missiles can be used. NATO would never fight a war with such restrictions. The West waited too long to provide tanks and only recently Ukraine may see F16s. This equipment would have been better leveraged by Ukraine's professional soldiers early in the conflict, while Russia was suffering losses and facing defeat in the field. Now that the West is finally providing this kit, Ukraine's professional soldiers are either dead, tired or dead. Impeccable timing. Even though more kit is making it to Ukraine, it still comes with limitations as to its use, especially regarding missiles. Personally, I find it amazing that Ukraine's allies can impose such limitations while Ukrainians are grieving the victims of the hospital that was attacked by the Russians. Remember this was predictable. If the West was not ready or willing to assure a Ukrainian victory, Istanbul may have been, albeit unsavory, a good idea. I want Ukraine to win, but the West's dithering and vacillating is affecting tactics and strategy adversely, contributing to Ukrainians dying with limited prospects of victory. Some argue that we have to be watchful of the possibility of nuclear war. Very true. In such a case, perhaps you should have avoided the war that you predicted. Perhaps the fact that Russia is a nuclear power escaped those involved. So the strategy is to not directly engage Russia, while supplying Ukraine to fight Russia, while limiting Ukraine's tactical and strategic flexibility. What is the end game? A weakened Russia perhaps? Small comfort for the dead and dying Ukrainians.
The F-16s are on the way, Poland has a new training facility opening; the UK has allowed Ukraine to strike more targets inside of Russia, the real escalation has just begun.
Why is DW deleting comments that are pro Ukraine?
it's not DW, it's youtube. probably flagged by a Ruski bot, which youtube doesn't do much to circumvent.

Keep trying at a later time or change your wording around. I believe yt algorithm is the culprit. Regarding Ruzzkie bots flagging pro Ukrainian comments, we could be doing the same. However, their comments are full of copium, cognitive dissonance and whataboutism, it's rather entertaining to read.
