Russia Warns Germany Over Ukraine Missile Delivery
Tap title to read story
Russia issued a stern warning to Germany against supplying Ukraine with Taurus long-range missiles, threatening to view their use against Russian infrastructure as direct German involvement. This follows comments from Germany's likely next chancellor, Friedrich Merz, expressing openness to the missile transfer, a stance supported by some European officials but opposed by Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) and current Chancellor Scholz due to escalation fears. While Ukraine welcomes the potential shift, the SPD's opposition highlights a potential coalition conflict.
