English summary of the [German] article:
The President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola called on the German government to finally decide on the delivery of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, as per German weekly Der Spiegel.
Metsola noted that for Ukraine, “time matters”, and Russia is increasing the pressure — there are only more air targets flying over Ukrainian cities.
Ms. Metsola emphasized that Ukraine “cannot wait forever”, and that there is broad support in the European Parliament for such a decision by Germany.
The debate on Taurus flared up again after the United States had lifted long-range restrictions for Ukraine, and in the view of the upcoming early elections in Germany, but Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been rejecting these claims.
But the upcoming federal election has fuelled the debate: The vice-chancellor and Green leader Robert Habeck had stressed on German TV that he was ready for this, and parts of the opposition saw it as similar. CDU-head Friedrich Merz had already spoken out for Taurus deliveries.
I appreciate the anti-Christian vibes, but son, do you want Ukraine to just hand over their land to Russia? Russia is also quite Christian, mind you.
Land and children, tens of thousands of them.
