๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ชโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ โ€“ German Chancellor Merz again allowed the transfer of Taurus to Ukraine, but noted that this will not give a quick result .

"Of course, it's within the realm of possibility," the Chancellor said on ZDF television, answering the host's question about the Taurus.

Let us recall that, according to the German press, Germany intends to finance the production of Ukrainian long-range drones.
