As the United States and the United Kingdom deliver their long-range missiles to Ukraine for its ongoing war against Russia, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Germany will not send Ukraine its version.

"We will not deliver weapons which have a long range and where we do not have enough control about what will happen if they will be used at aims that are far away," Scholz said.

Scholz spoke to PBS News' Amna Nawaz Thursday in an exclusive interview about support for Ukraine and the country's path to NATO membership.

Scholz is in Washington this week for the NATO summit, in which the top focus is Western support for Ukraine.
