Kiev continues to maintain its strategy of targeting Russian non-military areas. According to information recently admitted by spokespeople for the Ministry of Defense of Germany, the Ukrainian regime have requested from Berlin long-range missiles capable of striking Moscow. The news reveals how the Ukrainian government plans to carry out attacks against Russia’s demilitarized territory, which certainly will not be tolerated by the Russian authorities.
On May 26, citing two sources familiar with the Defense Ministry, the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published an article with the information that Ukraine had asked Berlin to send air-launched Taurus long-range missiles. These missiles are of German-Swedish manufacture and Kiev believes that they could be some kind of “game changer” on the battlefield if they are used in the F-16 fighter jets – which the Ukrainian forces also hope to receive soon from its NATO’s allies.
According to the article, the German government would be facing a “dilemma” with the Ukrainian request, as many officials doubt that Kiev would use such equipment sensibly. This doubt is due to the fact that a long-range Taurus missile reaches a distance of 310 miles, estimated at 500km. This means that depending on from where Ukrainian forces launch their missiles, it would be possible to hit Moscow and other targets close to the Russian capital. Considering that the plan is to use such weapons with F-16 jets, the chances are even greater that attacks will be carried out in depth, which would lead to unprecedented escalation.
Furthermore, the article also cites security concerns on the part of the German government. The sources reported that the Taurus missiles require detailed, accurate and up-to-date information to be used properly. Berlin is still not sure if it is really willing to share such strategic data with its Ukrainian partners, which is why there are still doubts about the supply of these missiles.
If Germany decides to send such weapons, it would follow the UK, which recently became the first country to supply the Kiev regime with long-range missiles. London has decided to send Storm Shadow missiles with a range of over 250km to Ukraine, which has been classified by officials and analysts as a serious escalation in the conflict. This scenario of intensification tends to get even worse with the possible sending of German weapons. The addition of Berlin to the list of long-range weapons suppliers will not only increase Kiev’s firepower, it will also consequently force Moscow to act more firmly to prevent the enemy from achieving its objectives.
It is important to note that, since their arrival in Ukraine, British long-range missiles have been used continuously in attacks against the stabilized and demilitarized territory of the Russian Federation. These weapons have reached the border and caused damage against civilian facilities in Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts. As a result of these attacks, at least six children were injured according to information published by local authorities.
These incursions against civilian areas are not one-off cases, but a central part of the Ukrainian strategy. The neo-Nazi government operates in accordance with the anti-Russian mentality that has become Ukraine’s state ideology since the Maidan coup in 2014. Furthermore, “pragmatically”, Kiev uses these attacks to generate disinformation in the western media, accusing Russian forces of committing such crimes and “justifying” the demand for even more weapons to “repel the invaders”. In practice, the more weapons arrive for the neo-Nazi regime, the more Russian civilians die and the greater the humanitarian crisis generated by the conflict.
In this regard, Germany should take into account the recent cases of Ukrainian attacks against non-military targets using British long-range weapons in order to realize that continuing to arm Ukrainian forces will only create more suffering among ordinary people.
Russia, on the other hand, faces the possibility of a dangerous escalation. If Kiev receives more long-range missiles and F-16 jets, Moscow’s security will be at high risk. Since the defense of the capital city is the number one priority of every nation state, the Russians have the right to act preemptively to neutralize enemy forces and prevent the possibility of harmful attacks in the future. It is also necessary to emphasize that Kiev has already carried out a series of terrorist attacks on undisputed Russian territory, even trying to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin during a drone strike. This further reinforces the Russian need to act decisively to avoid losses.
It is hoped that the German authorities contribute to peace and prevent the worst-case scenario from happening. If Berlin sends Taurus missiles to Kiev, it will be consciously acting in favor of a dangerous and possibly irreversible escalation.

udariti nuklearno po lavovu
it’s no secret that hardcore nazis in business suits run germany for the time being so it should not be a surprise if they figure out a way to send their cousins in kiev the weapons. wash. d.c. will play lip service as they do with everything; the evidence they speak with “fork tongue” is overwhelming.
hardcore nazis in business suits have been running germanistan since the 1920s. the evil ussa and its germnistan minions along with the filth on pirate rock are one and the same….the anglozionazi empire of shit.
they will get them, as the murican nazi shithole will do everything to not loose its evil hegemony over the world. but will be in vain. alea jacta est ! and it will be another good test for the sam’s systems to humiliate another nazi wunderweapon piece of shit like the americunt patriot garbage
the nazis never went away the west kept them in place to control all aspects of government and used nazi intelligence structure against thesoviet union
much too little too late.
these missiles along with the f16s and other military equipment, will be used as terrorist weapons virtually everywhere including russia itself.
the kepd-350 is a very good cruise missile with long range and i can see how it could be used to escalate the conflict. kepd-350 could even be used to target the kerch bridge, it’s so precise in targeting that it could be used to blow up some bridge pillars. kepd-350 is a impressive weapon but it would most certainly lead to a escalation, it’s better for everyone if it’s not delivered.
today ukraine admitted the loss of 15 fighter aircraft. all wiped out on base by a russian airstrike.
that’s remarkable, because kiev never almost never admits combat losses.
mora priznati jer satelitski snimci to jasno pokazuju,pošto su dostupni na telegramu
if they want to see berlin look like it did in may 1945 that’s the way to arrange it.
ukräina delenda est, as martin armstrong has forecasted ukräina has taken the path of death, so be it
germany is run by people who have one brain cell at this point. i wouldn’t put it past them to continue the escalation. those longer range missiles would force russia to level kiev. how else are you supposed to respond, if moscow were hit with the german long range missiles?
germany needs to consider the carbon footprint of those missiles before building them and sending them.
don’t they know that if they keep it up they’re going to cause the earth to start on fire?
without airports, no fighter jets, without jets no taurus cruise missiles….-
perhaps the lgbtq/greens can front up to take on hetero russians,hmm though not! =z=
it shows uk trying to provoke russian offensive. hence waiting and grinding ukro (while minimizing escalation risks) proves to be right russian tactic.
time to flatten kiev. do the type of “restructuring” that the evil ussa is known for in its global bouts of genocide in the serial pentacon judaic wars of expansion. lay down a carpet over the entire region after giving the ukrapper populous 3 days to flood urupp. turn kiev into bakhmut. that will wake the euro pawns up whatever about their satanic masters in the washing town sewer.
german people say no. german government, who were happy that uk, us, poland, norway and ukraine allegedly took out their energy supplies, bend over and ask if they want the missiles gift wrapped. funny how the green party are the greatest cheerleaders of the nazis and ukraine. funny, how they had no problems, with environment damage, following the ns1 and ns2 being taken out.
how funny that the asshole for germany party (afd) writes exactly those kind of fucking bullshit…
douchland will be toast this time round
the krauts and british are treading on thin ice. keep it up , london and berlin are going to be obliterated. washinton could use a heavy dose of it’s own medicine , long over due..

media, internet hordes, estonia, poland, uk: please, please give them!
