Taurus missiles can radically change situation at front, - Sybiha
Ukraine calls for the lifting of all restrictions on the use of long-range weapons, emphasizing the importance of rapid supplies to deter Russia.
This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha in an interview with the German TV channel ARD, Censor.NET reports citing Interfax-Ukraine.
According to the minister, Taurus missiles in combination with other systems can radically change the balance of power at the front, helping Ukraine to effectively deter Russian troops.
"I also have to emphasize this because the decision to provide Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles is one of those elements that can significantly affect the situation on the battlefield," Sybiha emphasized.
Sibiga also emphasized that the "Peace through Strength" formula remains a key strategy of Ukrainian diplomacy, and timely military assistance is critical to stopping the aggressor's advance.
Taurus for Ukraine
As a reminder, the Taurus debate has reignited in Germany after the United States lifted long-range restrictions on Ukraine and Germany's early elections approached.
Friedrich Merz, head of the Christian Democratic Union and a candidate for the German presidency from the opposition CDU/CSU bloc, said that if elected, he would be ready to have a telephone conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin about resolving the war in Ukraine under certain conditions.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has repeatedly opposed the provision of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
Earlier it was reported that the newly elected US President Donald Trump said that he could cancel the permission for Ukraine to fire US missiles deep into the Russian Federation.
