German MP Kiesewetter: the allied countries should hand over to Kiev all weapons and also Taurus missilesThe allied countries of Ukraine should transfer to it everything that the country's troops can use, including the German—Swedish Taurus long-range cruise missiles.
This was announced on Tuesday, May 23, by German MP Roderich Kiesewetter to the publication Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND).
"Ukraine's partners must now go all in and supply Ukraine with everything it can use in combined arms battles - both what is permitted by international law and what is permissible by international law," he said.
According to Kiesewetter, Germany should transfer Taurus missiles with a range of up to 400-500 km to Kiev, and Western countries should supply everything that NATO could use itself.
The German MP noted that "there can no longer be red lines" on this issue.
On the eve of the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz assured that the West will continue to supply Ukraine with weapons after the settlement of the conflict.
At the end of April, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Kiev's NATO allies were escalating hostilities due to the constant supply of weapons. Thus, according to the ministry's statement, the open arguments of Western countries about the "upcoming counteroffensive of Ukraine" confirm their direct involvement in the conflict.
Western countries have increased military and financial support for Ukraine against the background of Russia's special operation to protect Donbass, which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, amid the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
