Former German President Joachim Gauck has criticized the German government's position on the supply of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine. This was reported in his interview with Bild.
Answering a question about the supply of German Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, Gauck said that there is no international legal prohibition on providing armed assistance to a victim of aggression.
"That is why we are allowed to do it. And we must do it - using everything at our disposal. Without any ifs and buts. Because Russia's victory will also endanger the security of other European states in the medium term," he said.
The former president added that the current German Chancellor Olaf Scholz should ask himself whether he is not lagging behind his formulated demand to do everything to prevent Russia from coming to a victorious peace.
