Germany's reluctance to send cruise missiles to Ukraine

  German media reported on Saturday about Germany's reluctance to send cruise missiles to Ukraine...in the midst of the country's conflict with the Russian military. The website of the "Deutsche Welle" news channel wrote that the Ukrainian government had pressured Germany to send Taurus missiles, but Germany has not shown any desire to use this weapon for targets on Russian soil. This website wrote that Ukraine is very suffering from air defense weakness and is looking for any such help. On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked German Chancellor Olaf Schultz for continuing the delivery of the Patriot missile system. Earlier, a member of the Ukrainian parliament said that the German parliament had agreed to send long-range missiles to Kiev to fight against Russia. Yehor Cherniv, a Ukrainian lawmaker, said Germany would send long-range Taros missiles to Ukraine after the parliamentary deal. Since receiving an unknown number of Storm Shadow missiles from the UK, Kiev has continuously used them to target civilian installations. According to Russian officials, these missiles were fired at two civilian factories in the city of Luhansk in May, injuring several people, including six children.
