Ukraine's Foreign Minister Shares Updates on Taurus and ATACMS to Ukraine

Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, has commented on possible decision of the United States and Germany to send long-range missiles ATACMS and Taurus to Ukraine.

According to Interfax-Ukraine, Kuleba stated while speaking to journalists that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz holds the decision on sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

"I believe that the decision (to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine) lies on the desk of the German Chancellor. He needs to make it," said the Ukrainian minister.

Kuleba added that the decision on possible supply of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine from the United States is still pending.

"In my recent conversation with the Secretary of State, we discussed this. He confirmed that they are analysing some aspects related to usage, quantity, to make a final decision. I would like to remind that the United Kingdom and France have provided us with long-range missiles. So it would be more than natural if Germany and the United States join this coalition," emphasised Kuleba.

The German government has not yet deciced whether it will send Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, it is believed that this decision will not be made "for the whole year."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently expressed confidence that Ukraine will receive results from the United States, as it did with other types of weapons.
