Chancellor Merz's remarks have reignited speculation regarding Germany's potential supply of Taurus missiles to Ukraine, which the latter has long desired for its defense efforts. In a meeting with President Zelenskyy, Merz assured support for developing long-range missiles in Ukraine, yet he refrained from committing specifically to the Taurus missiles. The backdrop to this discussion is intensified Russian aerial assaults and Germany's longstanding military aid role, facing scrutiny from historical hesitance under former Chancellor Scholz, hence sparking anticipation for Merz's approach towards military involvement in the conflict.
Merkel's recent comments fueled speculation that Berlin is ready to send weapons to Ukraine, especially long-range Taurus missiles, previously denied by Germany.
Merz's acknowledgment of lifted missile range restrictions by allies signals a potential shift in Germany's stance, possibly leading to an escalation in military support to Ukraine.
