Chancellor Olaf Scholz has again ruled out delivering German Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine at this time, citing the risk of Germany becoming involved in the war. "It is a very far-reaching weapon. And what the British and French are doing in terms of target control and accompanying target control cannot be done in Germany," Scholz said on February 26 at an editorial conference organized in Berlin by the German news agency dpa. Taurus cruise missiles can hit targets up to 500 kilometers away with great precision. Ukraine wants to use them to cut off the Russian troops' supply lines.
