German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has once again made it clear that neither German troops nor Taurus long-range cruise missiles will be sent to Kyiv, Ednews informs via TASS.
"There are weapons that can only be shipped when it is possible to maintain control over everything done with them," Scholz said at a meeting of the Social Democratic Party in Luneburg, thus ruling out Taurus shipments to Ukraine.
This weapon system is so effective and precise, he said, that it can "be fired straight into a living room."
"It is responsible only if we keep control of target guidance. But we cannot do this," the chancellor stressed. "If we had done this, we would have been involved in the war," Scholz added.
"There will be neither German soldiers nor NATO troops in this war. We won’t be operating with German soldiers inside Ukraine, nor will we be conducting military operations outside Ukraine, such as target guidance and the like," the German chancellor concluded.
