Germany does not exclude a possible delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. The German Chancellor said so, Friedrich Merz. “Of course, this is part of the kingdom of possibilities,” said Merz to the Zdf by answering a question about the possibility of deliveries of Taurus to Kiev. However, Merz stressed that the use of missiles would require a long period of training, which could require “several months of training for soldiers in Ukraine”.
The declarations of the German Chancellor arrives in the aftermath of the Ukrainian President the president Volodymyr Zelensky In Berlin, during which the German government announced 5 billion euros in new military aid and financial support for the Ukrainian long -haul missile program. Merz, in the election campaign, had made it known that he would have revoked the ban imposed by his predecessor, the Social Democrat Olaf Scholzto deliver Taurus to Ukraine. The Taurus is a powerful cruise missile capable of hitting targets at a distance of 500 kilometers, a distance higher than that of long -range weapons that Ukraine has received from other partners.
