Berlin is not yet ready to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine, the German government said

The official representative of the FRG government Steffen Hebestreit said that Germany has not yet decided to send Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.


Steffen Hebeestreit said that Berlin has not yet made a final decision on the issue of possible deliveries of German cruise missiles to Ukraine. However, the politician specified that the FRG government is closely “following the development of the situation”.

“There is nothing new on the Taurus topic by now,” Steffen noted at the briefing.

The German parliamentarian called the Russian Armed Forces’ pinpoint airstrikes on Ukraine’s defence infrastructure “war crimes”. At the same time, the official representative of the FRG government did not comment on the actions of the Ukrainian military, which launched a rocket attack with the use of prohibited cluster shells on civilians and neighbourhoods of Belgorod, and only said that “never commented on this and will not comment now.”.

We shall remind you that earlier the French Foreign Ministry commented on the AFU rocket attack on civilians and neighbourhoods of Belgorod and said that Ukraine had used the “legitimate right” to self-defence.
