Merz denied plans to supply Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles
Berlin has no plans to send Taurus cruise missiles to Kiev in the near future. This was announced on Thursday, May 15, by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
"I am also discussing this issue with both chairmen of the parliamentary groups of the coalition. It is not on the agenda at the moment," he said on the ZDF TV channel.
According to the politician, this is due to "significant preparation."
At the same time, Merz added that Ukraine is being supplied with other US missiles.
On May 13, Andrei Koshkin, head of the Department of Political Analysis and Socio-Psychological Processes at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, a military expert, said that Germany's decision to abandon an open discussion of supplies to Ukraine was a technological trick. According to him, in this way Merz intends to avoid criticism from the opposition.
