German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock warns against continuing public discussions about German long-range Taurus cruise missiles, which Ukraine has previously requested, UNN reports with reference to tagesschau.

I have commented extensively on Taurus and I do not believe that the ongoing public discussion on Taurus will move us one step forward

- Burbock said in an interview with the Funke media group.

Addendum

Ukraine, according to German media, requested missiles with a range of 500 kilometers from Germany last May. Scholz first explicitly rejected the request in October and then several times this year. Scholz rejects the delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine because he fears that it could draw Germany into a war.
