German Chancellor Olaf Scholz does not want to send special missiles called Taurus to Ukraine.
These missiles are long-range and could be used to hit targets in Russia. Scholz says sending them would be a mistake. He thinks it could lead to a direct conflict between Russia and NATO, which is a group of countries that includes the US, UK, and others. Scholz wants to avoid this conflict at all costs.
Scholz’s government has given Ukraine money and equipment to help defend itself against Russia. However, he does not want Ukraine to use these new missiles to attack Russian targets. He says this would be a mistake, even though Ukraine is already using other weapons made in the US to hit Russian territory.
Some people disagree with Scholz’s decision. They think it would be helpful for Ukraine to have these missiles to defend itself. The leader of Germany‘s opposition party, Friedrich Merz, thinks the government should discuss this further with the US before making a decision.
The Munich Security Conference, which is a group that talks about security issues, has criticized Scholz’s decision. They say it does not make sense and is becoming harder to understand.
