Pistorius also noted that bilateral agreements exist "not to be discussed publicly, to draw some ‘red lines’, or (to discuss – ed.) what is terated and what is not."

"Thirdly, this is what we will be looking into," said the German Defense Minister.

As reported earlier, German Chancellor af Schz said Ukraine could use German weapons "within the framework of international law", without specifying directly whether Germany allows to hit targets on Russian soil.
