Russia has made it clear to Berlin that any hostile action will not remain unanswered, including possible supplies of Taurus cruise missiles to Kiev and hosting US intermediate-and shorter-range missiles in Germany, Russia’s ambassador Sergey Nechayev stated.
He pointed out that “even the most zealous Russophobes recognize that there is no ‘Wunderwaffe’ (miracle weapon), and the Taurus missiles will not change the situation on the battlefield.” He recalled that Chancellor Olaf Scholz had dismissed the idea of supplying these combat systems to the Kiev regime, because such a step would mean Germany’s direct involvement in the conflict.
“The Social Democrats are discussing the possibility of including this ban in the new coalition agreement, if they happen to take part in its coordination,” Nechayev noted. However, he remarked that this proposal “has many opponents” who, on the contrary, would welcome Taurus supplies to Kiev.
Commenting on remarks by certain Western officials about deploying “peacekeepers” to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire, Nechayev reminded that Russia’s leadership had consistently emphasized that the presence of foreign forces there, particularly from NATO, was “intolerable and off the table.”
