Germany is not ready to provide Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles, as they can be used to strike Moscow. This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in the Tagesschau publication.


He emphasized that if used incorrectly, these missiles could hit a target "somewhere" in Moscow.


Scholz emphasized that Britain and France, transferring cruise missiles to Ukraine, took measures to control their landing.


The refusal to transfer the missiles is a decision that Germany made in view of the security of the region.


Scholz also noted that the criticism of this refusal is unfair, noting that Germany supplies Ukraine with a significant amount of weapons compared to other countries.
