"German Parliament Divided Over Sending Long-Range Weapons to Ukraine"

German lawmakers approved further military support for Ukraine, including long-range weapon systems, but rejected a call to deliver Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv, fearing an international escalation of the conflict with Russia. Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition committed to delivering "additional long-range weapon systems and ammunition" without specific mention of Taurus, leading to contention over the motion's wording. The decision highlights divisions within the coalition and Germany's cautious approach to the conflict.
