The US, Britain, France and Germany have agreed to lift all remaining range restrictions on the weapons they have given Ukraine, according to the German chancellor.
The shift, which has yet to be confirmed by Washington, would be not only a symbolic gesture of support from the Trump administration but also a military fillip for Kyiv, which could use western-made cruise missiles to strike up to 200 miles inside Russia instead of confining itself to the border regions.
Friedrich Merz, Germany’s conservative chancellor, said Ukraine would be able to defend itself with “long-range fire”.
