« A blow with these missiles against Russian installations (…) will be considered as a direct participation of Germany in hostilities with the Kiev regime, with all the consequences it implies, » said Maria Zaharova, quoted by Russian news agencies.

According to the spokesman, « the real launch of these cruise missiles is impossible without the direct assistance of the Bundeswehr military, » the German army.

The Kremlin has already denounced a risk of « escalation » on Monday if Germany would provide Taurus Ukraine missiles, after the future Chancellor Friedrich Merz has been open to this gesture in an agreement with the Europeans, which his predecessor Olaf Scholz has permanently refused.
