Turkey’s Anadolu News Agency (AA) reported Shozi as saying at a press conference in Munich: “This is a decision I made as prime minister, and I still insist on it. This is not what we can provide at the moment. It’s a thing.”

Speaking to the media in Berlin earlier this week, Scholtz defended his refusal to support Ukraine’s Taurus missiles, saying it would effectively involve Germany in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Scholtz said at the time that the Taurus missile was a very long-range weapon. “What Britain and France do to lock targets or help lock targets is something that Germany cannot do.” This was tantamount to revealing that Britain and France had sent personnel to Ukraine to help in the war. .

Although British officials have said that trainers should be sent to Ukraine to a limited extent, in official public occasions, the London authorities have stated that the missiles are being operated by the Ukrainian army.
