Russia's Sergei Nechayev Warns of Escalation if Germany Supplies Long-Range Taurus Missiles to Ukraine

Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergei Nechayev stated that potential deliveries of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine by the incoming German government would escalate the conflict but would not alter the situation on the front lines. This assertion was made during an interview with Berliner. The Kremlin echoed these concerns, asserting that Germany's ongoing military support for Ukraine would only intensify the conflict. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, indicated that such a decision would lead to heightened tensions and that similar implications would apply to military assistance from other nations. Various sources, including the UK Defense Secretary and international news outlets, have emphasized the continuation of support for Ukraine amid increasing tensions between the U.S. and Russia.
