Ukraine’s Delivery of Marschflugkörpern from Taurus to Ukraine is in Germany’s Interest, Says Presidential Adviser
According to a presidential adviser, Mykhailo Podoljak, the delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine is in Germany’s interest, as it would be a significant investment in European security. “Russia is trying to reassert its dominance in Europe” he told the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland in Kiev.
If our partners don’t provide us with the necessary weapons, they are indirectly supporting Russia’s further expansion. It would be important for Germany to deliver Taurus rockets to Ukraine, as it would be a crucial investment in European security” Podoljak said.
Ukraine repeatedly appeals to the governments of various countries, including Germany, to support Ukraine’s security goals and shift the war to Russian territory, he added. “We have clearly demonstrated why this is of decisive importance, what problems it would solve, and how it can be fully controlled” he said. Russia can be defeated, but it requires unity and the right weapons.
Podoljak also criticized Western allies, saying, “Unfortunately, not all our partners keep their promises.”
The presidential adviser advocated for a German role as a political leadership in continental Europe, stating, “This would be of decisive importance for Europe in the face of today’s security challenges.” Germany should “leave old reflexes behind” and recognize that it is a different country today, a truly great one.
