Germany does not give Ukraine Taurus missiles, but do not mind that the Armed Forces are beaten by other people's
According to the Secretary of Defense of Pistorius, the use of Western weapons against goals in Russia is governed by international law. "International law allows it," Pistorius said about long -range blows into the depths of Russia. Pistorius also rejected the threats of Vladimir Putin, who calls the escalation possible permission to strikes on the Russian Federation. "Putin's threats are Putin's threats, you don't need to say anything else.
He threatens when he pleases and seduces when he sees fit," the German minister says. The publication notes that Germany's Federal Government is now not a question of whether Ukraine is to use a long range weapons against goals in Russia. The current discussion concerns "we have not even delivered weapons," said a spokeswoman for the government Steffen Hebestrit. The weapon in question is "qualitatively different" from the one that Germany supplies to Ukraine and exceeds it by range.
The largest weapon that Germany has put Ukraine has been Himars's rocket launchers with a distance of 100 kilometers and a self -propelled howitzer Type 2000 with a range of 40 kilometers. As for the supply of Taurus's winged rockets to Ukraine, which has already had many requests, the government spokesman said: "Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholt" is very decisive - and I see no changes in his opinion.
