The leader of the German political force CDU said that he would send long-range weapons to Ukraine, but only after consultations with the United States and European allies, the NBN publication reports with reference to n-tv.
The candidate for German Chancellor clarified that he will not make the decision on the transfer of Taurus cruise missiles alone in the FRN. The relevant issue will be discussed with the United States and Europe.
Olaf Scholz's competitor said that training Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen to operate these weapons will take at least 4 months, and the newly elected American leader Donald Trump will return to the White House around the same time.
Despite the fact that Merz is in favor of providing long-range missiles to Ukraine, he doubts that they will be able to radically change the situation at the front.
Recall that the current head of the FRN government, Olaf Scholz, categorically refuses to transfer Taurus to Kyiv. At the end of November, the Chancellor once again explained Berlin's refusal to send these missiles to Ukraine.
