Scholz rejects Zelenskyy's call for allies to shoot down Russian targets over Ukraine

This is reported by the German agency dpa, according to DW.

Scholz's objections also concerned Zelenskyy's request to lift restrictions on the use of Western weapons to strike targets in Russia, the agency writes.

Asked at a press conference whether he agreed with other NATO countries on Zelenskyy's calls, Scholz said: "I see such a consensus that such steps are out of the question, and the United States has also been very clear on this.”
