German-made heavy armor pieces are rolling through the fields of Russia’s Kursk Region again, some 80 years since one of the biggest battles of WWII in the same area, Bild wrote, reporting on Kiev’s cross-border incursion.

The German tabloid, citing videos posted online, said that several Marder infantry fighting vehicles have been spotted among the equipment used by the Ukrainian military in its offensive. The news of German-made weapons being used in an attack on Russia’s internationally recognized Russian territory has prompted a mixed reaction in Germany. The head of the German parliament’s Defense Committee, Markus Faber, stated he had no issues with the development. Any weapons handed over to Kiev cease to be German and become Ukrainian ones, he told the Funke Media Group. He also described the territory of both Ukraine and Russia as a “war zone.”

"Ukraine has the right to self defense enshrined in international law," Germany's foreign ministry told Politico in a statement. "This is not limited to its own territory."

Many politicians in Germany’s conservative opposition have provided even more full-throated support for the Ukrainian offensive — and the use of German weapons on Russian territory. Roderich Kiesewetter, a senior lawmaker with the Christian Democrats, told Politico it's totally legitimate to strike "staging areas" inside Russia with weapons donated by Germany.

"The question of whether Western weapons are involved doesn't come up because, after they are delivered, they are Ukrainian weapons," said Kiesewetter.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has so far refrained from breaking away from his summer vacation to say anything about the incursion.

Both Berlin and Washington shifted policy on hitting Russian territory in May in response to the Russian offensive against Ukraine's second city of Kharkiv. Ukraine “has the right, guaranteed under international law, to defend itself against these attacks,” a German government spokesperson said at the time.

İ response deputy Chair of Security Council of Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev wrote on X account: “The German newspaper Bild has published a revanchist article where it proudly announces German tanks’ comeback to the Russian land. In response, we’re going to do everything to bring the newest Russian tanks to Platz d. Republik".
