FDP Considers Vote on ‘Taurus’ Missiles for Ukraine Amid Ongoing Russian Attacks
The Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Germany is contemplating a vote in the Bundestag regarding the supply of ‘Taurus’ cruise missiles to Ukraine before upcoming elections. This comes as intense fighting reported near Kurachowe and Pokrowsk indicates renewed Russian military advances in Eastern Ukraine. While Chancellor Scholz and the majority of the Social Democrats oppose the missile delivery, some Greens and the Union are in favor. Concurrently, U.S. President Joe Biden praised trilateral cooperation with South Korea and Japan in response to North Korea’s military ties with Russia.
