Ukraine can still get Taurus from Germany
As the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Radosław Sikorski, says, he expects that discussions within Germany regarding the possibility of providing Ukraine with Taurus long-range cruise missiles will soon undergo significant changes.
Radoslav Sikorsky predicts that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz may drastically change his position after the latest events in the international arena.
The United States' provision of long-awaited ATACMS missiles to Ukraine was a response to Russia's escalation, and Scholz acknowledges this. Germany will do more than it already does.
As Western journalists recently learned, the United States also expects that a favourable decision regarding ATACMS for Ukraine will push official Berlin to take a similar step regarding its own Taurus cruise missiles.
