Merz calls for taurus delivery to Ukraine: Putin's decisions count!

Berlin, Deutschland - In Berlin, the discussion about the delivery of Taurus marching aircraft to Ukraine causes explosive debates. The CDU chairman Friedrich Merz explained in the ARD program “Caren Miosga” that he would in principle be willing to deliver these highly effective weapons. However, it is important that this could only happen under certain conditions. "I wouldn't just pretend," emphasized Merz. He sees the need to lift the range limitation if the Russian bombing does not stop. Merz made it clear: "Then it is up to (the Russian President Vladimir) Putin how far he wants to escalate this war."

He criticized the coalition government under Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and found that there was a lack of a strategic perspective for Ukraine policy. Merz sees a big problem in the fact that the Putin government informs about all relevant information and publicly argue about its different points of view. This disagreement in the strategy could weaken the negotiating position of Germany and Europe.

European security and taurus delivery

The discussion about the delivery of Taurus marching aircraft is particularly crucial because Ukraine is struggling to use its weapons against strategic goals on Russian territory. So far, both countries, Germany and the USA, have refused, although Ukraine wants to attack military facilities that are considered starting points for the attacks on civilians in Ukraine. Merz demanded that the decision on the taurus delivery should be made in Europe to strengthen your own security situation and not only be dependent on the USA.

With a view to the upcoming US presidential election, in which Republican Donald Trump may come back to power, Merz emphasized the urgency that Europe had to play a more confident role in the support of Ukraine. He argued that stronger European cooperation was necessary to meet the challenges that go through Russia.

in addition to the upcoming Bundestag election campaign to work for significant increases in armaments expenditure. "We have to do that," it said. He underlined that the budget of the Bundeswehr must grow and that a gap of 30 billion euros had to be filled in the defense budget from 2029. Merz warned that Russia is currently setting up to such a measure that it could be able to attack NATO area within five to eight years. The assessment of Merz is clear: Germany must currently be prepared and no longer meet any misconceptions. Further information can be found at www.radioherford.de.
