Bundestag Votes in Favor of Draft Resolution on Supply of Long-Range Missiles to Kiev
13:16 GMT 22.02.2024 (Updated: 14:32 GMT 22.02.2024) BERLIN (Sputnik) - The German parliament, Bundestag, voted on Thursday in favor of a draft resolution submitted by factions of the ruling coalition on the supply of long-range weapons systems to Ukraine to destroy strategic targets in Russia's rear.
"382 voted in favor, 284 against, 2 abstained," the chairman of the Bundestag said.
Earlier in the day, Bundestag voted against the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Alternative for Germany (AfD) which directly calls on the German government to begin supplying Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles.
"182 voted in favor, 480 against, 5 abstained," the chairman of the Budestag said.
The main issue with the supply of Taurus missiles is their range of 500 kilometers (311 miles), which makes them capable of striking deep inside Russian territory. Germany has previously not supplied Kiev with weapons with similar characteristics. The German expert community has even discussed whether the missiles could be programmed so that they could not be used against the Russian territory.
Western countries have provided hundreds of
billions of dollars worth of aid to Ukraine since the start of
Russia's special military operation in February 2022. Aid shipments began in 2022 with artillery munitions and training and have escalated to include tanks, advanced air-defense systems, missiles and cluster munitions.
The Kremlin has consistently warned against the West's continued arms deliveries to Ukraine, saying that they only prolong the conflict, adding that Western military equipment will be eventually destroyed. Moscow also cautioned that NATO countries “are playing with fire” by providing Kiev with arms.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized that any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia. According to him, the US and
NATO are directly involved in the Ukraine conflict by supplying weapons and training soldiers in the UK, Germany, Italy and other countries.
