The UK has urged Germany and other Western nations to donate long-range weapons to Ukraine despite a leaked tape of top German military commanders discussing how Taurus missiles could be used against Russia.
The UK and France have already provided to Kiev dozens of air-launched Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles, which they produce jointly. In the leaked recording released last Friday, high-ranking German officers discussed a proposal to donate Taurus missiles and what actions Berlin would have to take for them to be deployed and for plausible deniability of German involvement to be maintained. They also mentioned that London and Paris were reluctant to send more of their weapons unless Berlin tapped its own arsenal.
The leak is “obviously a matter for Germany to investigate,” a spokesman for the British government said on Monday.
