Olaf Scholz has explained several times in the past two weeks why he does not want to deliver Taurus cruise missiles to Kiev. Taurus is a cruise missile produced in Germany and used by the Bundeswehr with a range of more than 500 kilometers.

From Ukraine you can hit Moscow with five-meter-long rockets. President Volodymyr Zelensky's government says it has no plans to do so. She wants to use the Taurus to destroy the supply lines of the Russian armed forces far behind the front line.
