Scholz once again clearly rejects the Taurus delivery

Chancellor Olaf Scholz has once again clearly rejected the delivery of long-range German Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. “Prudence is not something that can be qualified as weakness, as some do, but prudence is what the citizens of this country are entitled to,” said the SPD politician on Wednesday in his first survey this year in the Bundestag in Berlin. He added: “This also means that it is impossible for me to deliver long-range weapon systems that can only be meaningfully delivered if they would also involve the deployment of German soldiers outside of Ukraine. That’s a line that I don’t want to cross as Chancellor.”
