Union proposal fails - no Taurus to Ukraine for the time being. 495 parliamentarians voted against the delivery, 190 were in favor and there were 5 abstentions.
Opponents of a delivery fear a possible escalation. The Taurus system is characterized by a long range of 500 kilometers and great precision. The weapon makes it possible to destroy Russian ammunition depots, protected command posts and infrastructure important to the war effort far behind the front. The 19-kilometer-long Kerch Bridge was repeatedly cited as an example.
