"Germany's Scholz Stands Firm Against Taurus Missile Delivery to Ukraine"

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterates his opposition to supplying Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles, citing concerns about the level of tactical assistance required and the need to contain the war within Ukraine. Ukrainian officials seek the missiles for targeting Russian ammunition depots and supply routes. Scholz's stance has drawn criticism from opposition lawmakers, and a recently publicized intercepted conversation has raised questions about the potential involvement of German officials in the use of the weapons. Germany remains a major supplier of military aid to Ukraine.
