Merz believes that "we must give an all-European response to this important question".
An all-European response for him is first of all a joint position with France and the UK which are already supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles.
"This is my suggestion. I hope that the German government listens to it and implements it," Merz said.
He stressed that "we must help Ukraine so that it is able to quickly end this war".
Earlier Merz stated that he supports the supply of German long-range missiles Taurus but with a limited range.
The German government has not yet decided whether it would supply Ukraine with the Taurus missiles. Yet Kyiv believes this decision will not take "a whole year" to be made.
