A friend does not make you fight for your life with one hand tied behind your back 😢😢

A military target is a military target! What nonsense is it that there are limitations of 100km?!?!

Take the training wheels off

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?

Ah , another imaginary American red line .

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.

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. 😡

Not what if! Ukraine should be allowed to defend!

It should be no limit at all

Should have been no constraints!!! You don’t win a war not striking back on enemy territory 😡😡😡

The guy said….everything is good for now for Ukraine.

The consequences is none other than surely ... W w _ 3

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 😢

Soon there will be most of russian assets moved to 150 km from the border. NATO should not restrict the range of donated weapons!

DW should remember what happened to Berlin from the poorly trained soviets.

That should be 300KM...withing this range...the movement of everything large can be early detected and targeted...

Russia bombing Ukraine, so Ukraine bombs Russia. SO WHAT? It happens to be called a war.

There is nothing Ukraine can do to push Rusdia back. Simple truth, but DW is still not permitted to acknowledge this... wonder why?

Why on earth only 100 Kms ????

Madness 🤯

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.

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.

The whole war Ukraine fought like they had to bind one of there arms behind there back.

Then Ukraine will pay dearly not NATO that's unfortunate

I don't see the point of the 100km limit. Simple restriction to military targets only should be sufficient.

this isn't making me safer at all.

I am missing two zeros in the title

If Vladimir Putin allows nato weapons to be used by the Ukrainian army inside Russia, targeted provided by nato, then Vladimir Putin should step down because he would be weak

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

What is DW smoking? that is so far off from reality and makes them lie?

At least people have started seeing through DW bullcrap and bullcrap in general, judging by the comments by the people. It is not working ❤

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.

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

what if Ukraine had the full support of the West?? The war would be over.... so then why is this war still raging?

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.

DW deleting comments like crazy lol

How come that we have to put this question? This is what we should think about. When will the West do what they should do? Give and allow what the Ukrainians ask for! Now!

well Russia will reply to that with a 1000x times harder.

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.

No one is trying to Stop the war! "An eye for an Eye will make the whole world blind" .

Lift all restrictions and let Ukraine win.

So Ukraine is still winning ?

Well good now Russia can argure Russian weapons are allowed to hit targets 100km in NATO territory

Thank you

"Irreversible is a strong word indeed." he said. As he puts it it is a word. And Ukraine's future membership of NATO hangs on a word. The saying, Led down the Primrose path, comes to mind.

What if Russia attacked NATO country's??

it is like to say: "What if we start global thermonuclear war"

Russia doesn’t have such a limitation so why set a limitation on Ukraine? If removing any limitation causes Russia to elevate the nuclear threat, then why not just arm Ukraine with nuclear weapons?

Why 100 km only?

And then their was one person, one single person with any moral fibre...this is madness. Mr Orban "Blessed are the oeace makers"

The proxy war in Ukraine is the first time NATO has tried to pick on someone their own size and NATO is getting humiliated

My opinion for what it is worth is if we are going to support Ukraine then we must support them fully , not in a half harted manner , give them what they need to do the job and stop restricting weapon range ? The Russions have no such limits , how can this be fair ? Just does not make sense to me.

They should be permitted to, it is another country invading theirs,

stop LIEING TO US !

Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.

Time is Irreversible. LOL.

When will you get the green light to start up the spin machine to change direction?

No comments about Ukrainian casualties double standard 😂😂

раньше, в 20 веке, русские были сильные и умные. А теперь они еще и хитрые.

"Poor trained Russian force"?.....uh huh 😏

What is Ukraine was hit by a nuclear missile?

Ukraine is winning 😂

Then imagine many innocent 🇷🇺 citizens being kill3d by western supplied weapon's, don't be nutß

You wouldn’t know if you don’t try. Don’t be a coward merely talking. Do it! Lol.

What if ...Putin got mad and pulled his tactical nukes?

Ukraine should do whatever they want! They were invaded, it's simple!

Too late for Ukraine to win anything. Paradoxically as sad as it is for Ukraine, it has served its role well, as intended. What they should have done is agree to the minsk agreement, the next best chance was the 2022 ceasefire proposal which they squandered. But that's what happens when they chose to dance to US/UKs tune.

Russia has not only become a high income country but is transforming its economy into a dual economy, thus able to afford a long term war

"Minor mishaps"😂😂😂😂

What will happen if Russia retaliate seriously?

so ukraine is winning ?

Germany have been very good at supplying stuff for Ukraine, however Olaf Scholz as been a total wing nut when it comes to allowing Ukraine to use long range missiles in to Russia. He's extremely wrong on this.

Sehr gut 👍Slava Ukraine 💙💛✌️💯

Poorly trained Russian soldiers. Since when?

this whole topic gets me riled up. biden is such a coward. you give ukraine the ordnance and let them go fight their war. circumscribing how the weapons are used is deplorable.

I am sick of meaningless statements and "what if" debates. Start acting decisively!

Try it and you will see it

🇺🇦🔱🇺🇦

How long is gonna be kept "stalled*? In this regard, i hope they dont grow overconfident or something

Intensity

Western desperation 😂😂😂

May god protect us, have patience 🇷🇺

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?

DW the American slave news channel.

Also it brings EU more involved with headquarters in Germany

poroshenko and the minihitlers created the war back in 2014.

this war needs peace man . it need to end
