Would long-range missiles for Ukraine change the course of the war? | DW News

A majority of German lawmakers voted against an opposition motion to deliver Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. The motion was put forward by the center-right Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) bloc. Only 182 parliamentarians voted in favor of it, while 480 were against. There were 5 abstentions. In the run up to the vote, opposition leader Friedrich Merz had urged members of the ruling coalition to support the motion. The ruling alliance, for their part, are putting forward their own joint motion calling for the delivery of "additional, necessary long-range weapons systems and ammunition" to Ukraine, without explicitly mentioning Taurus.
