"German Bundestag Rejects Proposal to Send Taurus Missiles to Ukraine"

The German parliament voted against delivering Taurus KEPD 350 cruise missiles to Ukraine, while France announced plans to provide additional SCALP-EG cruise missiles and other equipment to Ukraine. Despite the vote, the final decision on Taurus deliveries rests with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The French support comes as Ukraine's counteroffensive has slowed, and Russia continues to make small advances. Efforts are underway to reintroduce a vote on the Taurus missiles in Germany, with ruling parties expressing interest in submitting a proposal by February.
