The opposition bloc of the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) will once again bring a resolution on the supply of long-range cruise missiles Taurus to Ukraine to a vote in the Bundestag next week. This was reported by the Rheinische Post newspaper, citing the first parliamentary secretary of the CDU/CSU faction, Torsten Frey.
“Faction CDU/CSU will put the issue of Taurus supplies to a roll-call vote in the Bundestag during the upcoming session week,” he said.
According to Frey, the German parliament “must take the reins of power into its own hands.”
This week, the Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, Yegor Chernyev, called on Germany to provide Ukraine with Taurus missiles for attacks on the territory of Crimea and the Crimean Bridge.
In February, the Bundestag voted against a resolution demanding the supply of Taurus missiles to Kyiv.
480 parliamentarians opposed the initiative of the opposition bloc of the Christian Democratic Union and Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU), while 182 deputies supported it, and five abstained.
Earlier, the Russian Ambassador to Berlin spoke about Germany’s militaristic rhetoric.
