Bundestag fails to vote on Taurus missiles

Even those parties that previously supported the transfer of missiles to Ukraine voted against the resolution.

The German Parliament failed to vote for a draft resolution on providing long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine. The press service of the Bundestag reported this on Wednesday, January 17.

A proposal by the Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union directly calling on the federal government to grant Kyiv the Taurus was rejected by a majority.

178 deputies voted in favor, 485 voted against, and three abstained.

According to Spiegel, the resolution was voted against, in particular, by deputies from the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party, which had previously repeatedly called on the German government to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

Let’s recall that earlier the representative of the German government, Steffen Hebestreit, said that Ukraine should not have hope for the early delivery of long-range Taurus missiles.

At the beginning of November last year, the German company MBDA Deutschland announced that it is ready to resume the production of Taurus long-range missiles as soon as possible.

The Taurus precision missile is more powerful than the Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles that Ukraine received from the UK and France. The Taurus hits targets at a distance of more than 500 kilometers and carries a warhead of about 500 kilograms. Its total weight is more than 1.3 tons.
