During the session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, politicians from SPD, VDP and "Greens" voted for a resolution that Kyiv needs the Taurus missiles.

This happened against the background of the fact that on March 14, German Bundestag deputies did not pass a decision on the transfer of Taurus to Ukraine.

The vote in the European Parliament took place on the resolution on "the need for unwavering support of Ukraine from the EU."

Paragraph 11 of the document emphasized that: "The country especially needs highly developed air defense systems, long-range cruise missiles such as Taurus, Storm Shadow and Scalp systems, modern combat aircraft, various types of artillery and ammunition, as well as drones."

451 deputies supported the resolution; 46 — opposed; 49 - abstained.

In addition, the representatives of the VDP and the "Greens" unanimously voted for the resolution.

“The vote in Strasbourg shows how isolated the traffic light government in Berlin is with its line.

Despite the fact that we, the CDU/CSU, welcome the vote of the EU deputies from the SPD, the Greens and the VDP, the presentation of opposite positions in Brussels and Berlin is a deception of the voters", said the head of the CDU/CSU group in the EU Parliament, Daniel Kaspari.

The Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz remains opposed.
