German Chancellor sends important signal about Russia to Ukraine
(Baonghean.vn) - The German army has asked the manufacturer of long-range cruise missiles Taurus to limit their range before they are sent to Ukraine, Das Erste newspaper wrote.
"In this way, Chancellor Olaf Scholz is trying to exclude the possibility of the Ukrainian army attacking Russian territory with long-range missiles. It is believed that he intends to approve the transfer of Taurus only after he is sure that the missiles have limited range," the newspaper wrote.
As industry experts told Das Erste, it will take several weeks to implement such technical changes. Yesterday, the T-online news portal, citing sources in the ruling SPD party, reported that Germany will soon announce the decision to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine. At the same time, the German government has repeatedly made it clear that the supply of this type of weapon is not considered a priority and there is no agreement with NATO partners and the United States.
In the context of Russia's special operation that began on February 24, 2022, Washington and its NATO allies have continuously pumped weapons into Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly stated that Western arms supplies only prolong the conflict, and that such arms aid shipments are legitimate targets for Russian military attacks./.
