Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Germany on Wednesday that use of its weapons by Ukraine to strike targets in Russia would mark a dangerous step" and ruin relations between Berlin and Moscow.

Germany joined the United States recently in authorizing Ukraine to hit some targets on Russian soil with the long-range weapons they are supplying.

Putin said that the deliveries of German tanks to Ukraine came as a shock to many in Russia.

Now if they use missiles to strike facilities on the Russian territory it will completely ruin Russian-German relations, he said.
