Details: According to Chancellor, the Taurus system is extremely complicated, and its service requires long -term training in the Ukrainian military.
Direct language Merz: “The problem for us is that this system is extremely difficult, and in order to teach soldiers, it takes at least half a year. They are already taught? We have not yet negotiated.
Details: Merz stressed that Germany would no longer publicly announce what weapon it transfers to Ukraine in order not to allow Russia to accurately evaluate the event.
Direct language Merz: “I also said that we will no longer publicly discuss the question of what weapon we are supplying and what we do for the military support of Ukraine in the future, because I want Putin to have some uncertainty about what we are doing in military plan.”
“Only one thing is undoubted, and I repeat it in this program: Germany will not become a party in the war.”
Recall: Merz said he did not plan telephone conversations with the ruler of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, since such contacts in the past have not led to the de -escalation of the situation in Ukraine.
Prehistory:
- Earlier, Merz spoke for the supply of Taurus’s winged missiles to Ukraine. Since the coming to power in early May, the Mertz government has decided to limit public information about which weapons will supply Ukraine.
- In Germany, in the environment of the CDU/CSU governing bloc, calls to give Ukraine Taurus are increasingly heard.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has hinted that the dialogue with Germany on Taurus missiles continues, but made it clear that all discussions happen confidentially and behind the scenes.
