Germany not considering delivering Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine: minister

by AFP Staff Writers Kyiv, Ukraine (AFP) June 12, 2025 AFP
Berlin is not considering delivering long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine for its fight against Russia, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said in Kyiv on Thursday.

Pistorius told a journalist that, if "asked whether we are considering this, my answer is no". The question of sending Taurus, with a range of over 500 kilometres (270 miles), has been highly controversial because it would allow Ukraine to target sites deep inside Russia.
