The prospect of transferring Taurus missiles to Ukraine is even more questionable. “Moscow has managed to create the perfect political dilemma,” says a German newspaper.
The prospect of the supply of long-range missiles to the Ukraine has been raised by the German government. It comes after a leaked conversation between German and Russian military officers about the possibility of sending Taurus to Ukraine. The German government has said it will not send Taurus missile batteries to Ukraine, despite the leaked conversation. The U.S. government has also said it won't send any Taurus weapons to Ukraine unless the U.N. Security Council approves them.
