German opposition leader Merz rebukes Scholz for refusing to give Ukraine Taurus
During a speech in the Bundestag, Christian Democratic Union party chairman Friedrich Merz demanded that Chancellor Olaf explain why he still opposes the delivery of Taurus "clearly against the will" of the coalition factions.
This was reported by European Pravda with reference to AFP, Censor.NET informs.
"You could have explained it here this morning," Merz said.
He reproached Chancellor Olaf Scholz for refusing to provide Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles and reminded that the US government had already decided to provide long-range weapons, meaning ATACMS missiles.
In addition, he stressed the need to send a "very clear message" to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the next EU summit that he will not wait for the West to get tired of supporting Ukraine.
