German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock, in contrast to Chancellor Olaf Scholz's position, positively assessed US President Joe Biden's decision to approve ATACMS missile strikes deep into Russian territory.
"It has long been known that I and the German Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, Robert Habeck, my party, treat this just like our Eastern European counterparts, the British, the French and the Americans," he said.rbb24:in a radio interview.
"And it's within the framework of international law," Burbock said. From his point of view, ATACMS missile strikes can destroy missile installations in Russia.
However, he called for "weighing every step" and dialogue.
"Diplomacy lives by talking to each other even in the most difficult moments," the Foreign Minister insisted.
Scholz emphasized earlier that he is against giving Kiev the right to strike deep into Russian territory with Western weapons.
