Bundestag MP Sarah Wagenknecht, leader of the Sarah Wagenknecht Union, said that the German long-range cruise missiles Taurus would not help Kiev in the conflict with Russia, but would only prolong it and lead to more casualties.
“Do you seriously think that if we supply even more weapons, the Ukrainians will be able to force the Russians out of Crimea? Do you think that Russia, a nuclear power, will allow that to happen?” the German politician said in an interview with journalist Paul Ronzheimer on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
The parliamentarian emphasised that “in the end” Berlin’s transfer of Taurus would not help Ukraine. The Bundestag deputy said that the permanent prolongation of the conflict could not be considered assistance or defence.
“I consider this to be complete madness. If we bring war with German weapons to Russia, we will bring war to Germany,” – stated Sarah Wagenknecht.
We will remind, earlier the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundestag) agreed on a draft resolution, according to which Berlin will supply Ukraine with “long-range weapons”.
