The German chancellor and his defense minister have doubled down on their decision not to send long-range missiles to Ukraine.

The answer is still nein.

The United States and the United Kingdom have said they will send fresh batches of long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine this week, but while Germany ramps up pressure on its allies to donate air defense systems to the embattled country, there’s no sign Chancellor Olaf Scholz will budge on sending the German military’s available Taurus long-range missiles.

Scholz’s refusal to send the weapons “remains the case” despite new pledges from the U.S. and the U.K., German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said during an interview on German public television late Wednesday.
