Germany and UK Discuss 'Weapons-Swap' to Support Ukraine

The deal aims to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles without Germany directly supplying its Taurus system, amid concerns over escalation with Moscow.

Germany and the UK are discussing a 'weapons-swap' deal to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles without Germany directly supplying its Taurus system.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz maintains his opposition to sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine, fearing escalation with Moscow.
The proposed swap involves the UK sending Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine, which would then be replenished with Taurus missiles from Germany.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock confirms the discussions and notes the 'Ringtausch' as a viable option.
The debate over Taurus missiles continues amid concerns about Germany's involvement in the war and the need for more ammunition for Ukraine.
