British Foreign Minister David Cameron offered to send additional long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine in exchange for receiving Taurus from Germany.
What is known about the idea of the Taurus circular exchange
His colleague from Germany, Annalena Baerbock, positively evaluated this option, noting that she is open to the offer of a ring exchange.
The exchange of rings was, so to speak, a German invention. That would be an option. And we did that a while ago with other material, Baerbock said
What Britain is offering Germany regarding Taurus missiles
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that the UK is determined to work closely with its German partners to help Ukraine.
Cameron explained that a possible ring exchange is allowed. For example, Germany will transfer Taurus missiles to Britain, and London, in turn, will provide Ukraine with additional Storm Shadow missiles.
We are ready to consider all options to achieve the maximum effect for Ukraine... But will not give any details and will not tell our opponents what we are planning.
Cameron dismissed fears that the cruise missile transfer could lead to escalation.
It is absolutely possible to set limits on the use of these weapons to ensure that they do not contribute to escalation in any way, he said, adding that Britain trusts Ukraine's assurances.
