Ukraine will not receive Taurus as part of security agreement - Pistorius
Germany is preparing to sign a security agreement with Ukraine, but it will not include the supply of German cruise missiles to Kyiv.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced this on the Welt TV channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Negotiations are underway about this. Now it would be too early, but in fact, a partnership in the field of security, security guarantees. Germany, of course, will participate in this...
Do everything possible to strengthen air defense capabilities and capabilities. And not in the short term, but in the long term. Because then and only then, if the sky over Ukraine remains Ukrainian, then security will be ensured and the Russians can be kept out. This is priority number one,” the minister said.
“And the second priority is increasing the production of artillery ammunition. This is a very important issue,” Pistorius said.
To a clarifying question about Taurus, he snapped:
"Not yet. This is nothing new."
