🇩🇪 It is more than clear to me that Ukraine urgently needs long-range missiles, - German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock.

During a visit to the United States, Burbok reiterated her approval of the transfer of Taurus missiles to Ukraine, but avoided answering when exactly that might happen.

The head of the German Foreign Ministry did not comment on rumors that the transfer of Taurus and American ATACMS may be jointly announced during the UN General Assembly in New York. Despite this, Berbock noted that Germany and the USA "closely and trustfully cooperate on this issue", so the final decision "depends on Washington as well."

The minister emphasized that during her recent visit to Kyiv, she discussed the transfer of Taurus with Volodymyr Zelensky. Also, the issue of long-range missiles was raised at Burbok's meetings with American Republican senators. She noted that it is very important for the transfer of this type of weapons to have bipartisan support in the United States.
