JAKARTA - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said a German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's statement about Ukraine's long-range attack on Russia with European weapons indicated a decision allowing the attack had been made for a long time.

Merz previously said there were no more range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine by Britain, France, Germany, and the United States.

Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, May 27, Lavrov said the statement indicated the quality of people who had risen to power in leading European countries and signaled the decision to allow long-range attacks on Russia had been taken some time ago but remained undisclosed.

Asked about US President Donald Trump's statement about Russia, Lavrov said the president showed emotion when he saw his efforts to make peace in Ukraine sabotaged by European politicians.
