The German coalition government is on the verge of proposing a motion for additional military aid to Ukraine, which includes the delivery of long-range weapon systems and necessary ammunition. Although the motion avoids explicitly mentioning the Taurus cruise missiles, it is broadly interpreted as a move to potentially include them in the aid package. This development comes as the SPD, Greens, and FDP parties, forming the 'traffic light' coalition, increase pressure on Chancellor Olaf Scholz for more robust support to Ukraine. The motion, which has been described as a secret proposal by the Deutsche Presse-Agentur agency, is expected to be voted on in the Bundestag later this week.

I think, it is once again important to clarify, that Germany is NOT “about to send Taurus to Ukraine”. German government factions are calling for “long-reaching weapons systems”, avoiding the term “Taurus”. So the government can interpret the motion as it wants. Purely symbolic. https://t.co/rkzmwt6vER
