Cameron’s attempt to convince Germany to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine
The British Foreign Minister, in a meeting with his German counterpart in Berlin, rejected the German Prime Minister's reason for escalating the war in Ukraine by sending Taurus missiles to this war-torn country, and emphasized the need to continue extensive arms support to Kiev. |
According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, David Cameron was quoted by “Spiegel” weekly. In response to a question about the release of an audio file of a conversation between senior German military officers about Russia’s support for Ukraine, the British Foreign Minister, while meeting with his German counterpart Analena Baerbock in Berlin, said that he did not want to go along with the Russian narrative about the differences between the allies. . He emphasized that he sees “incredible unity among allies and incredible unity in NATO.” Cameron also responded to the question of whether Britain wants to convince Germany to deliver Taurus missiles to Ukraine. He said that he could only speak about Britain’s experience of the effectiveness of these types of weapons in helping Ukraine fight against Russia. A new weapon system was supposed to escalate the tension, which did not happen. “Until a NATO soldier kills a Russian soldier, nothing should stop us from helping.” Schultz rejects the delivery of Taros because it can lead Germany to war.
In this meeting, Baerbok did not want to completely reject the delivery of Taros missiles to Ukraine. “You know we as a federal government as a whole ask ourselves every day what more we can do to support Ukraine in defending it against a Russian war,” he said. However, he emphasized that the term “long-range weapon systems” refers to a large number of weapons.
The German foreign minister also said that the Taurus cruise missiles can hit targets at a distance of more than 500 kilometers. And so they have a longer range than the “Storm Shadow” cruise missiles offered by London. Taurus weapons are also more accurate and powerful. Even very hardened targets deep in the ground can be destroyed by them.
David Cameron, during his visit to Germany, also demanded the supply of long-range weapons to Ukraine. After meeting German Foreign Minister Analena Baerbock in Berlin, he said: “As far as long-range weapons are concerned, I can say from the British experience how effective these weapons have been in helping Ukraine to deal with illegal aggression.” /p>
Cameron strongly opposed the German chancellor’s theory that the delivery of new weapon systems could lead to an escalation of the war. This debate has been repeated since the Russian invasion two years ago. It said, “If you give Ukraine anti-tank weapons, that’s an escalation. No, it’s not. If you give Ukraine tanks, that’s an escalation. No, it’s not. If you give Ukraine long-range artillery. Or, ‘If there are long-range missiles. Have, this is an aggravation. No, it’s not.”
In view of Donald Trump’s possible victory in the US presidential elections, Baerbok reiterated that no matter who is in the White House, NATO’s European pillar must be strengthened. .
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron at a press conference in Berlin also called for the control of the war in Ukraine and Gaza as soon as possible before the new American president takes office. According to the Telegraph, the British Foreign Minister is one of the leaders. The European asked to direct the conflicts in the most positive direction possible to show “strength”. David Cameron criticized Trump’s stance on European defense and Washington’s refusal to approve more aid to Ukraine with politics. He compared the country’s appeasement towards Hitler.
Cameron and Baerbock also discussed the war in the Middle East during the meeting.Cameron said: “We need 500 trucks a day.” He also pointed out the need for more border crossings, bypassing less goods and allowing more UN employees to enter the region. to make sure.
Baerbok also once again called for an agreement on an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. He strongly criticized Israel’s settlement construction in the West Bank and said: “The recent decision to expand the settlements must be changed.” At the same time, the Federal Foreign Minister warned that the Israeli hostages should be finally released. | Macron: We do not have a red line in supporting Kyiv/ Kyiv admits to recruiting mercenaries from 50 countries
