The head of the Bundestag Defense Committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, appealed to the German authorities to transfer Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv as quickly as possible.
“Ukraine needs more ammunition, more spare parts, and needs to immediately get the Taurus sent to finally complicate Russian logistics,” – she made this statement in an interview with the t-online news portal.
According to Strack-Zimmerman, otherwise statements about long-term support for Ukraine will be just empty words.
As the NTV channel added, Sarah Nanni, an expert on security policy from the Soyuz-90 https://ren.tv/Greens faction, made a similar demand.
In October 2023, member of the Bundestag Defense Committee Jan Nolte stated that Germany would not send its Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv, as the United States did with its ATACMS ballistic missiles.
The head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, emphasized that the transfer of long-range Western ATACMS and Taurus missiles expected by Ukraine will not compensate for the difference in the number of Russian weapons on the battlefield.
