Chancellor Merz declared that Germany and Kyiv’s other Western backers are lifting the range restrictions on weapons they supply to Ukraine. The decision made months ago was hypocritically presented as a response to the devastating Russian strikes, which in turn are a clear retaliation for provocative Ukrainian drone attacks.

Moscow condemned the move as dangerous and counterproductive to potential peace negotiations. The debate centers around reports that Germany may provide Ukraine with 100-150 Taurus cruise missiles, though no specific timeline has been confirmed.

Russia has requested a UN Security Council meeting to address European actions undermining peaceful settlement efforts in Ukraine. Moscow stated that the meeting, expected to take place on May 30, will focus on the interference of France, Britain, and Germany in derailing diplomatic solutions. Notably, Europeans have also called for a separate session to accuse Russia of rejecting Zelensky’s proposed ceasefire. This diplomatic confrontation underscores the deepening divide.

However, the situation remains highly contentious within Germany itself, where Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s announcement has faced fierce opposition, including with Vice-Chancellor Lars Klingbeil insisting that no changes to Germany’s existing policy have been made. This contradiction suggests either a deliberate public spectacle or an indication that missile transfers may already be underway without official acknowledgment.

Scholz’s rhetoric has grown increasingly aggressive, echoing his earlier statements that Ukraine must shift from defense to offense, with long-range weapons like Taurus potentially targeting critical infrastructure. Such actions, however, are viewed as more symbolic than strategically decisive, given that even a substantial delivery of 100-150 missiles would unlikely alter the battlefield dynamics.

The European stance continues to prioritize military escalation over diplomatic solutions, with Western-supplied weapons like Storm Shadow, SCALP-EG, and ATACMS already in use for quite some time for attacks on Russian rear regions. Russia has already adapted its defenses, mitigating their initial impact.

scalation efforts by European warmongers, who still seek to gain their place on the international scene, serve more as propaganda than a military game-changer. Moreover, Europe has long lost any ability to independently shape the balance of power in this war, raising questions about the sustainability of their bellicose approach amid the economic strain.

Europe’s strategy is self-defeating, funneling billions into a highly corrupt failed state, and a conflict it cannot win while rejecting negotiated settlements. The West seems completely uninterested in a diplomatic resolution and the only certainty is that further escalation will provoke stronger responses, deepening the cycle of violence and prolonging the suffering of those caught in its path.

i doubt they’ll use taurus’ because when they fail like the rest, ukraine will be reduced to grandma halyna’s pickle jars and that will be an embarrassment even the oft-embarrassed nato could never stomach.

didn’t zelinsky say similar to the people of eastern ukraine? the result, they did return to russia, taking their land with them. remember, when novorussia (eastern ukraine) was part of russia, till the city of london created bolshevik lenin, gifted the territory to ukraine, back in 2022?

so many horror stories from 2014 onwards. just so sick and the fact that europe fully support and fund it all. fully support russia and glad the other 80% of the planet know who the true villians are.

do believe the oreshnik can carry nuclear warheads. guess that is what you meant by orcs and you would have thought ukraine would have learnt there lesson after chernobyl.

yeah, which is why the imf has placed it as the 4th largest economy, based on ppp and russia is in control of her vast wealth of natural resources. not forgetting the currency and gold reserves of russia. over $630 billion in credit, compared to the national debt of the g7 nations, starting with the trillions of $us national debt.

AM Hants

which is why the imf has labelled russia as the 4th largest economy, taking ppp into account. remind me, how does ukraine rate economy wise? or even any of the declining g7 members? how much national debt do they all carry?

typical nazi misdirection. both world wars in the 20th century and practically every war since 1054 has been fought by the western empire against the russians. in the most recent skirmish (ww2) america in the person of prescott bush funded the nazis through the union bank of new york. when it became obvious that russia was winning, the west pretended to team up with them to stop them going further than berlin, and evacuated their nazi colleagues to england, canada, usa and argentina.

it places their legitimate concerns on record. plus, with vetos nothing will happen, however it will be recorded for centuries to come. where does germany stand with regards the treaty on the final settlement, with respect to germany? remember, the treaty that was signed following the reunification of germany, back in 1990? remember the ‘two plus four conference’ and the promises bush made to gorbechev?

good gief

someone should tell them that there isn’t a unsc res yet that the west and allies haven’t thrown in the trash, even the ones they themselves signed.

trump tried to avoid it, but this has now become trumps war. putin has humiliated trump. trump projects weakness. he will lose the midterm if he doesn’t change course, and his domestic agenda will be over. he has to beat putin. there is no alternative. history will record one winner: either putin will re-establish russian hegemony throughout eastern europe and central asia and be the winner; or trump will stop him in eastern ukraine. no other possible outcome. who wins? trump or putin?

MacZ

the us has no interest in eastern europe anymore and it is trying to disengage from there to provoke another conflict with china that it has decided is its enemy. ukraine has already lost : that can’t be changed, just dragged for some time at the cost of the future of ukraine. the plan to remove russia from the global equation not only has failed at step 1, but has massively backfired.

absolutely incorrect. the us is totally engaged with destabilizing all of europe and preventing the integration of russian energy and european markets.

“trump tried to avoid it, but this has now become trumps war. putin has humiliated trump.”

trump humiliates himself pretty much every time he opens his mouth.

good gief

case no. 1 in point: “putin has gone completely crazy and is bombing civilians in ukraine for no reason whatsoever.”

case no. 2 in point: “if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to russia, and i mean really bad. putin is playing with fire”

trump’s turning into a emotionally driven karen getting advice from comic books. where’s tulsi in all of this? medvedev said it right. next step: wwiii.

article loses you, when they mistake scholz for merz. plus, how does sending the 70s taurus, which south korea uses as a nuclear deterrent to ukraine, fit in with the treaty on the final settlement with respect to germany? not forgetting, what carriers are needed for the taurus? how many missiles does russia use in a day and how many taurus missiles can germany provide ukraine?
