Members of the Bundestag have once again called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to provide Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles.

This statement was made by the chairman of the Christian Democratic Union, Bundestag member Friedrich Merz, BILD reports.

The politician noted that the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin hopes to weaken the West’s support for Ukraine.

– “Putin is counting on us to get tired and become negligent in our support for Ukraine,” Merz said.

He emphasized that the West should make it clear to Moscow that such calculations are wrong. And the European Union summit to be held next week should send a “very clear and unmistakable signal” that the Kremlin leader cannot rely on this.

The chairman of the Christian Democratic Union calls for the German authorities to unblock the transfer of Taurus missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces as soon as possible.

Earlier, the Washington Post reported that Germany is in no hurry to send Taurus long-range precision missiles to Ukraine, fearing that German specialists will be needed to operate them, which, according to some German government officials, could lead Berlin to a direct confrontation with Russia.
