Russia warns Germany against supplying Kyiv with Taurus missiles

MOSCOW, May 31: Warning Germany of dire consequences should it supply Kyiv with Taurus long-range cruise missiles, Russian ambassador Vassily Nebenzia at the UN Security Council said that if Germany gets directly involved in the conflict, it will give Russia the right to “consider all options” to “properly” respond to such a move.
“Germany is going to be drawn further into a war with Russia through these actions, which will give us the right to consider all options so as to properly respond to this unfriendly step,” Nebenzia said.
If Berlin has any common sense left, they should understand possible dire consequences of such actions, the diplomat added.
“Germany is going to be drawn further into a war with Russia through these actions (providing Taurus missiles), which will give us the right to consider all options so as to properly respond to this unfriendly step. If there is any common sense left in Berlin, if there are still people there who have not forgotten history, they cannot but understand what these new aggressive actions of Germany against Russia will result in,” he explained.
Taking a jibe at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Nebenzia claimed that Merz cannot fool anyone with his speeches, and his actions could cause Berlin to be drawn into a direct conflict with Moscow, should he stay the current course.
“Afterwards, the German leader did try to backtrack and started to say that Germany was in fact going to help Ukraine to independently produce long-range missiles. Without a doubt, these clumsy manoeuverings didn’t fool anybody,” he elaborated.
Russia has been fiercely opposed to any potential German supply of its Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, viewing it as a significant provocation.
The Kremlin has warned of stark retaliation should Berlin supply the missiles to Kyiv, calling the move a “dangerous escalation” and a step towards “direct participation” in the conflict.
