German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz constantly explains the refusal to transfer long-range Taurus (the ability to hit targets at a distance of up to 325 km) to Ukraine by the fact that allegedly the Defense Forces of our country will be able to attack the capital of a terrorist state, but the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has a different opinion on this matter.

About how the Ukrainian army will receive Taurus turn the current situation on the front, writes NBN, citing an explanation published in the official Telegram channel of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
According to Zelensky, Kyiv has repeatedly promised not to use long-range missiles on any territory, with the exception of Ukraine. In addition, such intentions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are seriously hampered by the shortage of certain types of ammunition, including those indicated.
The Ukrainian leader gave an example—the Defense Forces were able to achieve some priority in the Black Sea, forcing the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation to lose more than 20% of the ships, and therefore the invaders moved their fleet further away, into their territorial waters.
Thus, the course of the war on land can be changed, as was previously done on water, if you get the appropriate weapons that will allow you to respond to Putin’s army using missiles and artillery against the peaceful civilian cities of Ukraine, in particular Kherson . For example, the range of the “second army of the world” is higher than that of the Ukrainian Armed Forces—the occupiers strike with artillery from a distance of 20 km, while “we have an artillery shell up to 20 km.”
Zelensky focused on the growth of the potential of the Defense Forces after receiving the Taurus:
And imagine if you have a long-range weapon — you can knock them out further. And they themselves, they are inexperienced people, many of them are afraid. And if our weapons had reached there they would also have retreated.
We previously wrote about how Scholz made excuses for the delay in deliveries of Taurus to Ukraine.
