Despite the wiretapping embarrassment: Great Britain still wants to offer Scholz a way out of the Taurus dilemma. Great Britain offers to exchange rings with Germany in exchange for Taurus missiles.
Germany could indirectly support Ukraine without the long-range Taurus cruise missiles being delivered to the war zone. Next week, the SPD is still on the brakes on the delivery of Taurus rockets to the Union. But it remains to be seen whether the CDU and CSU voted on the issue. Because parts of the Greens and the FDP believe Taurus delivery is feasible, it is still seen as controversial.
