Germany Maintains Stance Against Sending Long-Range Missiles to Ukraine

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterated at the G20 summit that Germany will not supply Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine, citing concerns over shared targeting responsibility and the risk of being perceived as directly involved in the conflict. This stance comes amid pressure from allies and domestic challenges, as the US has reportedly lifted its ban on Ukraine using American long-range weapons against Russia. Scholz emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine's defense while acting prudently, reflecting Germany's cautious approach to military involvement.
