“Is Scholz afraid?” – Merz draws a devastating conclusion after two years of war in Ukraine. “I would like to hear the wording: We are helping Ukraine with all the means we have at our disposal so that we really see an early end to this terrible war,” says Merz.

On Thursday, the Bundestag rejected a request from the Union to deliver the Taurus missiles with a range of 500 kilometers to Ukraine. In their own motion, the SPD, Greens and FDP simply called on the government to provide Ukraine with “additionally required long-range weapons systems”.
