The German government said it had no prior knowledge of Ukraine’s drone attacks deep into Russian territory, but reaffirmed Kyiv’s right to self-defense under international law.

Germany was not informed in advance about a recent Ukrainian drone attack that struck targets deep inside Russia, a spokesperson said during a press briefing in Berlin on Monday.

"The German government was not informed about this, but that is not necessary because the Ukrainians have the right to defend themselves against a war that violates international law," the spokesperson stated.

The comments come amid growing international attention to Ukraine’s use of drone technology in the conflict against Russia.

The German spokesperson also emphasized that Ukraine remains "ready to negotiate," referring to the latest round of peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations taking place in Istanbul on Monday.
