"German Bundestag Rejects Sending Taurus Missiles to Ukraine"

The German Bundestag has voted against explicitly delivering Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, with the ruling coalition's motion for providing long-range weapons and ammunition not explicitly mentioning Taurus. There are differences in interpretation within the coalition, with the opposition's explicit call for Taurus delivery being rejected. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius avoided mentioning Taurus in his address, and there are concerns about escalation and fears that the missiles might reach Russia. Ukrainian leaders have been urging Germany to provide Taurus missiles, emphasizing the need for long-range weapons to defend against Russian aggression.
