  1. Merz stated that he would support the transfer of the long-awaited Taurus missiles to Ukraine, but not immediately. Instead, he proposed a phased approach with one key condition.

    The first step, according to Merz, would be to address Russian dictator Vladimir Putin with a demand to stop striking civilian targets in Ukraine.

  2. Don’t believe what this guy says. Merz is an opportunist and populist. He‘s very open to collaborating with the pro-Kremlin AfD.

    This is effectively a statement of unconditional backing for transfer of Taurus because “subject to Russia continuing to attack civilian targets” is a near certainty.

    I hope it’s a statement that can be taken at face value.
