Berlin is not considering Taurus delivery to Kyiv

Germany's Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has ruled out supplying Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. During his visit to Kyiv, he answered, "Da Sie mir eine Frage gestellt haben, ob wir das in Erwägung ziehen, lautet meine Antwort: Nein." Though the Ukraine has long requested these weapons, Pistorius pledged €1.9 billion in military aid instead, estimating that Germany would provide about €9 billion in total this year.

Public sentiment is largely against the missile delivery, with 63% opposing it, particularly in East Germany. The debate about Taurus missiles continues amidst a broader context of military support.
