The UK government is privately pushing Germany to supply Ukraine with the long-range Taurus missiles, which are capable of striking deep into Russian territory, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
On Thursday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that he was reluctant to send the Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine due to their range being long enough to hit Russian territory if used incorrectly. He said it was fraught with making Germany a party to the conflict with Russia.
UK ministers and other high-ranking officials have repeatedly given Berlin to understand that Ukraine needed its Taurus missiles badly, Bloomberg cited its sources as saying. London has even proposed several compromise solutions, such as sending Ukraine its own long-range Storm Shadow missiles and then replenishing the stock by buying Taurus missiles from Germany, the report read.
