German Chancellor Friedrich Merz just dropped a bombshell: he doesn’t rule out sending deadly ‘Taurus’ cruise missiles to Ukraine! Yes, you read that right. While Berlin has been cautious so far and never crossed this line, now the ‘Taurus’ option is back on the table. But before everyone starts celebrating or freaking out, Merz made it clear that the ‘Taurus’ system is extremely complicated and training takes at least six months. So, no quick fixes here.
Still, this is a huge shift because ‘Taurus’ missiles have a range of over 500 kilometers, which would significantly boost Ukraine’s military capabilities. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned that supplying these missiles would make Germany a party to the war. Merz, however, insists Germany will not become a war party, but the option remains open.
Besides that, Merz also talked about the migrant crisis and the importance of preserving the Schengen Area. He stressed that freedom of movement can only work if it’s not abused, especially through migrant smuggling. Germany and Poland, he said, have very close and friendly cooperation on border control and tackling illegal migration.
This statement comes at a time when Europe faces multiple challenges — from the war in Ukraine to waves of migrants. Will Germany really cross the line and send deadly missiles? Or is this just another political game? One thing’s for sure — the situation is tense, and the world is watching.
