Great Britain is now joining the debate about supplying Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. David Cameron believes a ring exchange is possible, which could allay Scholz's concerns about the arms deliveries.

In such an exchange, Germany would give Taurus missiles to Great Britain - and London, in turn, would deliver further Storm Shadow missiles. Germany could thus indirectly support Ukraine without the long-range Taurus Cruise missiles being delivered to the war zone. The traffic light coalition is divided in the Taurus debate.
