“The fact that every day counts, I think, we have seen over the past year and a half not only convincingly, but also cruelly,” she said, answering a question from journalists whether she would seek an early decision on the transfer of Taurus missiles,
Burbock also welcomed the decision of the Netherlands and Denmark to provide Ukraine with a total of 61 F-16 fighter jets.
“This is a good day for Ukraine and a good day for Europe,” the minister said.
Taurus for Ukraine
For several months now, a number of German officials have been calling for the transfer of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, which are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 500 km.
At the same time, the German government has not yet made any decisions about supplies.
According to media reports, Chancellor Olaf Scholz wants to modify the missiles so that Ukrainian troops cannot strike at Russian territory.
