Quote: "It is good that Chancellor Merz is laying claim to a leadership role for Germany. Merz must now stick to what he rightly demanded while in opposition and clear the way for Taurus deliveries."

Details: Nouripour stressed that refusing to supply cruise missiles to Ukraine would cost human lives.

Quote: "It is not enough simply to support the Ukrainian president in phone calls. The EU must increase pressure on Putin. Putin is the only one who can immediately put an end to this horrific war. Without pressure, he will not budge."

Background:

• German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said in summer that he was taking a cautious approach to an initiative to supply Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles.
• For their part, Germany's Greens have urged the government to provide greater support for Ukraine, including by supplying Taurus cruise missiles.
