Head of the EU Parliament: Germany should send Taurus missiles to Ukraine
The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has backed Ukraine's use of long-range missiles as it defends itself against a Russian invasion, and said Germany should quickly deploy its Taurus long-range missile systems. , towards Kiev.

In an interview published on Saturday by Funke Mediengruppe, Metsola has said that he supports sending such missiles to Ukraine and that they should be allowed to be used against targets in Russia.

The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, a social democrat, has strongly opposed the sending of the Taurus system to Ukraine.

His coalition partners, the Free Democrats and the Greens, are in favor of sending missiles to Kiev.

Discussions about the missiles have been brought to the fore in recent days after the United States reportedly gave Ukraine permission to use US ATACMS missiles to attack Russia.

The missiles of this system can attack a target up to 300 kilometers away.

The German Taurus systems can attack a target up to 500 kilometers away.

According to Metsolas, Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky has rightly said that Ukraine cannot wait indefinitely for effective military aid, because in the West there are always elections, while Ukrainians die every day in war.

"It is alarming that Russia is escalating the war and intensifying the missile attacks, which have already caused many victims," ??she said.

On Thursday, Russia fired a medium-range ballistic missile into Ukraine's Dnipro region and warned that such attacks could also target western Europe.

The war in Ukraine started on February 24, 2022.

Russian President Vladimir Putin calls the war a "special military operation" to demilitarize Ukraine.

The West has responded to Russia, hitting the economy of this country with harsh sanctions.

As a result of the war, thousands of people have died and millions more have been displaced from their homes./ REL
