Germany, allies drop range limits on arms to Ukraine

Germany says it is no longer imposing a range restriction on weapons supplied to Ukraine as it fights the Russian invasion. 
 
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has plunged into diplomatic efforts to try to secure a ceasefire and keep Western support for Ukraine intact since becoming Germany's leader nearly three weeks ago. 
 
Britain and France have also removed range restrictions for weapons sent to Ukraine. 
 
The move now means that Ukraine will be able to attack military positions much deeper in Russia. 
 
A Kremlin spokesman said that a decision to lift range restrictions would be "quite dangerous and run contrary to our effort to reach a political
settlement".
