Moscow warns Germany Taurus missiles will become Europe’s nightmare
According to webangah News Agency, Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the Russian State Duma’s International Affairs Committee, cautioned Europe about the consequences of such a move following German officials’ remarks on perhaps providing Ukraine with Taurus long-range missiles.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated last monday that the UK, France, and the US had lifted restrictions on Ukraine’s use of their supplied weapons, allowing Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. However, he emphasized berlin had not changed its stance on weapon usage limitations.
Slutsky responded: “Sensible German politicians don’t want Berlin dragged into an utterly irrational and horrific war in Ukraine. This is precisely the kind of war Europe should expect if Germany decides to supply Taurus missiles to Kyiv.”
During a press conference with Ukrainian President volodymyr Zelensky last Wednesday, merz confirmed Berlin would support Kyiv in producing its own long-range missiles.
Slutsky noted Russia recognizes any Taurus missile strikes from Ukrainian territory into Russia would require foreign specialists’ assistance.
The lawmaker questioned: “Is Merz ready for full-scale war just to keep Zelensky in power? There’s no sign of peace support – only Russophobia. This genetic Russophobia has blinded him so fully he ignores his own citizens!”
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova previously stated Moscow would consider any Taurus missile attacks on Russian soil as Germany joining the war on Ukraine’s side.
