Sep 14, 2024, 06:39 AM

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterated on Friday Germany's stance on not supplying long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, despite discussions among Western powers about providing Kyiv with more freedom to use such weapons. Scholz emphasized that Germany has made a clear decision on this matter, which will not change. The decision comes as the US and UK discuss the possibility of strikes deep into Russia, but Germany remains firm in its refusal to participate in sending long-range missiles. The German cabinet supports this decision.
