Ukraine Hopes for German Missiles; Russia Recovers War Booty of US-Made Equipment

“ I will not do it so simply. The first step will be to remove the limitation on the range of use of weapons and the second step will be to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine, ” Mr. Merz told ARD television.

Previously, incumbent German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had firmly refused to supply Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine.

“ Germany has made a clear decision about what we will do and what we will not do. This decision will not change ,” Mr. Scholz said of the country’s stance in refusing to supply long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

President Zelensky said that Germany's refusal to supply long-range missiles to Ukraine was related to President Putin's nuclear threats.

“ As I understand it, Chancellor Scholz said that Germany is not a nuclear state and that the Taurus long-range missile is the most powerful weapons system in Germany, ” Mr. Zelensky said.
