Russian escalation and weak coalition: in Germany, they argue with Merz through Taurus missiles - Politico

The article refers to diverse statements by German politicians about long -range strikes on the Russian Federation and Taurus missiles. First, Merz reported to the removal of restrictions for Ukraine for the use of Western weapons. In this regard, it came to the sending of powerful German missiles: in the time of the previous chancellor Olaf Soltz, this question was inhibited because of the fear of the Kremlin's nuclear response.

Merz's statement was to show Zelensky and Ukraine the unity and strength of Europeans, their readiness to increase the pressure on Moscow, which conducts massive attacks and escalated the situation. At the same time, the Bundestag's policies began to refute the Chancellor's words and this weakened his position, the article is said.

"The German Merz under the flurry of criticism because of the" contradictory "statements about long -range weapons for Ukraine, the debate of the Chancellor's statements threaten to overshadow Zelensky's visit to Berlin on Wednesday," the media explained. Politico led the message of two politicians who headed the political forces of the government coalition, which only a few weeks ago approved Martz as a chancellor.

One of them, the head of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SDPN) and Vicecanzler Lars KlingBail, said he had not heard of any new agreements concerning Taurus missiles. According to him, he also heard nothing about changing the position on long -range blows. The chancellor then announced that it was a permission that the US, France and Britain were given in the fall.

The statement of the head of the CDU Rhoderich Kizetter - another member of the coalition, a representative of the Merz party, appeared. He stated that Europeans and the German coalition at the time of escalation by the Russian Federation should show political will, but it is not noticeable. The politician agreed in a post that appeared on the social network X, which Berlin sends "contradictory messages" and thus shows the weakness of Europe.

"There are no signs that Germany will finally put the winged Taurus missiles, because I still do not see unity in the coalition and political will to respond properly, by force and consistently to massive escalation by Russia. Such statements are generally useful because they clearly show Russia's weakness. " It should be noted that Focus wrote about Merz's statements about long -range weapons and Taurus missiles for Ukraine.

During a speech at the German TV channel, the Chancellor really said about the removal of restrictions for Ukraine to use Western partners missiles. Merz also stressed that Ukrainians should be supported in confrontation with the Russian Federation to protect Europe. Then Lars Klingbayl's position appeared. The politician at the press conference stated that he had not heard about Taurus missiles and thus "denied the impression" of giving these means of impressions of Ukraine.
