🇩🇪 Michael Kretschmer, Minister President of the eastern German state of Saxony, warned that Germany risked an escalation by supplying Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles, which can strike into the Russian territory.
"Germany used to have a responsible, smart and balanced foreign and security strategy. Are we really OK with the prospect that German rockets could strike Russia? I am definitely against deliveries of cruise missiles," he said.
Speaking to press, Kretschmer said that the federal government had repeatedly crossed its own "red lines" by supplying Kiev with heavier weapons than was originally planned.

🇫🇷 France has completed the military training of 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers so far this year, which was its goal for 2023, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said in an interview out Sunday.
"The Ukrainian counteroffensive requires a new generation of soldiers, who need to be trained. In August, we met the goal we set ourselves for the year — to train 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers, split up between France and Poland," he told press.
Lecornu said in July that 5,200 Ukrainians had completed training by France, including 1,600 in Poland. He estimated at the time that 7,000 would be trained by the end of this year.

So how many commodities does Washington purchase from this Eastern European country? And what are they exactly?
