Military aid to Ukraine 

Germany’s defense ministry says Ukraine has asked Berlin to provide it with long-range air-to-surface missiles. 

A defense ministry spokesman said Germany has received the request from the Ukrainian side in recent days, without providing further details. The missile system would allow Kiev to strike well inside Russia with a range of over 500 kilometers. Germany, along with other US allies, have been so far cautious on giving Kiev weapons that could reach inside Russia, including fighter jets and air-to-surface missiles. Moscow has repeatedly warned the West not to provide Kiev with such weapons. It has already narrowed its diplomatic ties with Berlin.
