In a series of diplomatic engagements, UK Foreign Minister David Cameron conveyed a pointed message to German Chancellor Scholz, emphasizing the importance of supporting Ukraine without escalating the conflict with Russia. Cameron's remarks in Berlin highlighted that providing Taurus missiles to Ukraine would not represent an escalation but rather enable Ukraine to defend itself. This stance comes amid a backdrop of a Russian hack of German intelligence, which exposed a disagreement between Germany and the UK over military support for Ukraine. The leak indicated that the UK has been involved in providing targeting data and loading Storm Shadow missiles. Despite these tensions, both countries have vowed not to let Russia divide them, discussing the supply of long-range weapons to Ukraine and reaffirming their shared priorities, including support for Ukraine, stability in the Middle East, and addressing illegal migration. Cameron also offered assistance to Berlin in resolving the issue with the supply of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, proposing a solution that involves Germany supplying the missiles to the UK, which in return would provide additional support.
