The German government has reiterated that it will not deliver long-range <a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/germany-refuses-to-supply-taurus-missiles-to-ukraine-to-avoid-conflict-with-russia/" title="Germany Refuses to Supply Taurus Missiles to Ukraine to Avoid Conflict with Russia”>Taurus missiles to Ukraine, despite the US giving Kiev the green light to use similar US-made weapons against Russia.
However, Berlin intends to give Ukraine 4,000 state-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicles.
The Taurus missiles could only be used if Germany took partial responsibility for controlling the targets, which would make it a de facto part of the war, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told a news conference on the sidelines of the summit of the G20 in Rio de Janeiro. “This is something for which I cannot and do not want to take responsibility,” he underlined, reiterating that “it would not be right” to deliver such missiles to Kiev.
Solz has for months refused to hand over Taurus missiles, which have a range of more than 500 kilometers, citing the risk of escalation between Russia and the West.
Earlier today, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Berlin would deliver 4,000 advanced unmanned aerial vehicles to Ukraine. “These are drones that can disable the electronic defense of adversary drones,” they have the ability to operate at a depth of “30, 40 kilometers” inside Russian territory and “attack combat positions, logistical hubs and other goals”, he said.
The drones are manufactured by Helsing, a European company specializing in defense artificial intelligence that in September signed a contract with Ukraine’s defense ministry, according to Bild newspaper.

1. Can you discuss the German government’s decision to refuse the delivery of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, despite the US giving its blessing for Kiev to use similar weapons against Russia? How does the potential of escalation factor into this decision?
2. What are the reasons behind the German government’s willingness to provide Ukraine with 4,000 state-of-the-art unmanned aerial vehicles despite the risk of escalation? What role do these drones play in the conflict?
3. How do you assess the potential impact of this decision on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war? Do you think it could lead to further escalation or play a role in potential negotiations for peace?
4. How do you view the role of Germany in the conflict as a whole? As a neutral party or an active participant? What responsibilities do you think Germany has in supporting Ukraine without directly involving themselves in the war?

Section 1: German Government Decision on Long-Range Missiles

By refusing to provide these missiles, they are trying to maintain a neutral position and avoid escalating the situation further. The potential for misuse of these missiles by Ukraine or their falling into the wrong hands is also a major consideration.
Guest 2: The decision to not deliver long-range missiles is understandable given the risk of escalation and potential for a larger-scale conflict. However, it does put Germany in a difficult position. While they must balance their own interests and safety, they also have a responsibility to support Ukraine and help them defend themselves against Russian aggression.
Section 2: Providing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Guest 1: The decision to provide Ukraine with advanced drones demonstrates a more nuanced approach to supporting Ukraine’s defense efforts. These drones can target specific areas within Russian territory without directly engaging in combat operations. The focus on technological superiority
