German Chancellor Olaf Scholz does not want to deliver Taurus missiles to kyiv. He fears that the conflict could spread to Russian territory, potentially leading to escalation.
Taurus missile is the counterpart of the Storm Shadow/Scalp, developed in parallel by the British and the French, and which was delivered to Ukraine last year. “What other countries do, which have other traditions and other constitutional institutions, is something that we cannot do to the same extent,” he said.
