Defense Minister criticized: Pistorius leaves open how to deal with Taurus missiles. Only 182 MPs voted for the motion, while 480 were against and five abstained.
The CDU/CSU parliamentary group submitted its own motion to the Bundestag to further support the government in Kiev. The delivery of long-range weapons is also mentioned, but the word “Taurus” does not appear in the motion. The Greens want to deliver, as do the CDU and FDP. But the SPD under Chancellor Olaf Scholz stood in the way until the end.
