Details: During his visit to the brigade of the mountain troops in Bavaria, Pistorius emphasised the "special range" of these missiles and mentioned that the US is not providing long-range missiles to Ukraine.
Pistorius noted that Germany is a "leader" in providing Ukraine with air defence means, engineering and armoured vehicles, as well as training for soldiers.
Background:
- German opposition and coalition politicians have previously called on the government to supply Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles.
- In late May, Ukraine asked the German government to provide Taurus cruise missiles with a range of up to 500 kilometres.
