Germany to avoid supplying winged missiles to Ukraine

Berlin, Jun 26 (Prensa Latina) Germany on Monday denied having any intention of supplying long-range Taurus winged missiles to Ukraine, according to Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius, who was quoted by local television.

Regarding long-range weapons, I can once again assure you that we maintain a discreet policy in this regard and we have no intention of changing it, the defense minister told at a press conference in Vilnius.

Last May, the Ukrainian Government asked Germany to supply Taurus winged missiles with a range of 500 kilometers.

Ten years ago, Germany bought 600 Taurus rockets, some 160 of which remain functional, the Frankfurter Allegemeine Sonnatagszeitung newspaper reported.

The said missile is considered the analogue of the US Shadow Storm rocket, often used by Ukrainian forces to attack Russian troops’ positions and Russian cities near the border between the two states.
