Baerbock calls Taurus ring exchange an “option”. In an exchange of rings, Germany could give Taurus cruise missiles to Great Britain - and London could deliver further Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.

Cameron also believes that a ring exchange is possible, which could allay the concerns of Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD). ScholZ rejects the delivery of the Taurus missiles with a range of 500 kilometers to Ukraine because he fears that this could drag Germany into the war.
