"The Bundestag rejected the supply of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. The proposal of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, which explicitly mentioned this German weapon system, did not receive a majority," the statement said.
"As indicated, only 182 deputies voted in favor, 480 voted against, and 5 abstained.
The leader of the parliamentary group, Friedrich Merz, had earlier called on members of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP to join the CDU/CSU proposal.
The Bundestag reportedly also wants to vote on a proposal by coalition factions calling on the federal government to supply "the additional long-range weapons systems needed." However, the Taurus cruise missiles, which Kyiv has long called for, are not explicitly mentioned.
