“Germany will deepen its military cooperation with Ukraine by supporting the purchase of long-range missiles produced in the war-ravaged nation, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said. ‘Our defense ministers will sign a letter of intent today on procuring long-range weapon systems produced in Ukraine — so-called Long Range Fires,’ Merz said Wednesday during a joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin. ‘There will be no restrictions on range.’ … The change could pave the way for Berlin to deliver the long-requested Taurus cruise missiles, a step repeatedly blocked by the previous government led by former Chancellor Olaf Scholz over fears it would lead to escalation of the war. The Taurus system, with a range of over 500 kilometers, would enable high-precision strikes deep behind Russian lines.” (05/28/25)
