Details: The chancellor stressed that whatever happened, he would stand by his refusal to allow Ukraine to use German long-range weapons to attack targets deep inside Russia.

Quote: “This remains in effect. That is why I will stick to my position, even if other countries decide otherwise…

I won’t do it because I think it’s a problem.’’

More details: Commenting on reports that the US may lift existing restrictions, Scholz also said that not all speculation is true.

Previously: On 13 September, politicians from the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Greens, which are part of the federal coalition, once again called for an end to Germany’s refusal to send Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine for long-range strikes against Russia.

Although the US, the UK and France have provided Kyiv with their own long-range missiles, Germany still opposes providing Ukraine with Tauruses for fear of escalation from Moscow.
