SPD leader Lars Klingbeil defends Chancellor Olaf Scholz's no to the delivery of the Taurus cruise missile to Ukraine. British Foreign Minister David Cameron has proposed a ring swap for the cruise missiles coveted by Kiev.
Union faction in the Bundestag is skeptical about the ring exchange idea. The Defense Committee wanted to meet on Monday evening for a special meeting, which was primarily intended to focus on a conference call between four high-ranking Bundeswehr officers that was recorded by Russia.
