The Bundestag is set to vote on the new aid package this week, the sources said.
Germany’s ruling coalition has prepared a secret proposal to supply Ukraine with more ammunition, vehicles and weapons systems. The package may include long-range Taurus cruise missiles, Bild reported on Tuesday, February 20.
The Bundestag is said to be set to vote on this aid package this week.
“The German government is probably planning to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine,” the report said.
At the same time, Taurus missiles, which have been requested by Kiev for a long time, are not directly mentioned in this project, but it talks about “the supply of additional long-range weapons systems and ammunition necessary to enable Ukraine to conduct targeted. attacks on strategically important targets far behind Russian lines.” aggressor.”
Taurus missiles fit this description as they can reach targets over 500 kilometers away. France and the UK have already provided Ukraine with their Scalp and Storm Shadow cruise missiles, but they are considered not as effective as the Taurus.
As is known, Ukraine has been calling Germany since last year to start supplying Taurus long-range missiles. But Berlin has so far rejected such supplies. In particular, Chancellor Olaf Scholz is against it.
We remind you that on January 17, the German parliament failed to vote for a draft resolution on the supply of Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
At the same time, the German company Taurus Systems GmbH said that they can quickly launch a new production of Taurus missiles, which is requested by Ukraine.
