German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius says Germany is "very cautious" regarding Ukraine's request to deliver Taurus cruise missiles, and there is no decision on the matter yet, Tagesspiegel reports.
"We are very cautious about this, I have always made that clear. And the view has not changed so far," he said on 1 June during a visit to the Bundeswehr Personnel Management Office in Cologne.
Ukraine had asked Germany to supply Taurus cruise missiles. Berlin received the corresponding request from the Ukrainian side last Friday, according to the German Defense Ministry.
Only Britain has supplied Ukraine with its Storm Shadow cruise missiles, while the US has declined to provide its 297-km range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles.
