Germany still discussing supplying long-range weapons to Ukraine

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, in Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa on Saturday, said Germany was still discussing whether to supply long-range weapons to Ukraine.
“Of course, everything (in regards to military support) we are delivering is too little,” she said at a press conference after paying an unannounced visit to the country.
“We’re racking our brains, especially through the past year, about the issue of how to deliver more, including long-range weapons systems,” she said at the event, held jointly with her Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba on the second anniversary of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian leaders have been pushing their Western counterparts to deliver new weapons systems, above all longer-range missiles to strike further behind Russian lines, such as U.S. ATACMS and Germany’s Taurus cruise missiles.
German lawmakers approved further military support for Ukraine on Thursday, including long-range weapon systems, but rejected a call by the opposition to deliver Taurus to Kyiv.
