Russia has warned that Germany is increasingly getting involved in the Ukraine war due to arms supplies Berlin has offered to Kiev.
The Kremlin on Tuesday also warned that the German government had no way of ensuring that German-supplied weapons would not be used against Russian territory.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that such supplied weapons by Berlin were already being used in the Donbas region.
The Donbas industrial region (composed of Donetsk and Luhansk) along with Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia were added by Moscow to the Russian Federation following referendums in the said regions in September 2022.
Ukraine and its Western allies, including Germany, have dismissed the move as illegal, denouncing it as Russia's imperial land grab. However, much of the territory in the Russian-annexed regions still remains in Ukrainian hands.
A day earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Berlin had insisted, like other NATO member states, that the weapons it is supplying to Ukraine must not be used against Russian territory.
Nevertheless, Peskov rejected Berlin's claim, saying, "First, Germany doesn't have a way to check. Second, the weapons supplied by Germany to the Kiev regime are already firing at Russian territory, because the Donbas is a Russian region.".....more below

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warns the enemies that any act of aggression against the Islamic Republic will not go unanswered.
In a statement on Thursday, the IRGC issued a “stern warning” to the enemies after US forces launched strikes against the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.
Following the US military attack on a point on the outskirts of Bandar Abbas Airport with aerial projectiles, the IRGC carried out new strikes targeting the US air base from which the attack originated in the wee hours of Thursday, it added.
“This response is a serious warning to the enemy that they should know the act of aggression will not go unanswered,” the IRGC emphasized.
The elite military force warned of a “more decisive” response if the enemy repeated any act of aggression.
It also said the responsibility for the consequences of any IRGC response lies with the aggressor.
The statement comes after the IRGC Navy on Thursday forced an American tanker to turn back. The tanker ...
Volker Turk has warned that efforts to advance reparatory justice are facing resistance in “certain quarters,” and urged countries to back Africa’s push.
Reparatory justice for historical crimes, including colonialism, enslavement, and the trade in enslaved Africans, is crucial to dismantling systemic racism, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has said.
Speaking at the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent on Tuesday, Turk linked present-day discrimination against people from the continent to the enduring legacy of colonialism and enslavement.
”Racism and dehumanizing rhetoric continue to permeate public institutions, communities, and online platforms,” he said, according to the UN Press Service. Turk noted that “digital technologies, including AI, are reproducing and amplifying existing biases against people of African descent.”
The remarks come weeks after the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring the transatlantic slave trade “the gravest...
The US VP had to defend President Trump’s Gaza policy at a rally on a Georgia college campus.
US Vice President J.D. Vance was forced to defend Washington’s policy in Gaza after he was booed and heckled at a key MAGA event on Wednesday.
Co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a conservative student group that has long been seen as a strong support base of President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement but is now showing apparent cracks.
Less than 15 minutes into a TPUSA event at the University of Georgia on Wednesday, Vance was interrupted by hecklers over US policy in Gaza, with one audience member shouting, “Jesus Christ does not support genocide!” As he attempted to respond, others shouted, “You’re killing children!” and “You’re bombing children!”
Vance replied by referring to Trump’s achievements as president, including securing a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, something he said the previous administration of Joe Biden failed to do.
“I ...
