Details: Scholz said that despite many urging him to give Taurus missiles to Ukraine, "I will not supply cruise missiles that can reach Moscow".
Quote: "I can and will assure you of this now: I will maintain this position."
Scholz also believes that it is now necessary to consider options for achieving peace amid Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Meanwhile, he criticised the stance of ultra-left and ultra-right parties that see peace talks as an alternative to supporting Ukraine. "This is naive," Scholz commented.
Background:
- Germany has consistently refused to supply Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, even after the UK, France and the USA provided their long-range weapons.
- A survey conducted at the beginning of 2024 indicated that the vast majority of Germans support Chancellor Olaf Scholz's decision to refuse to supply Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.
