BERLIN (Sputnik) - Germany will be dragged into the conflict between Moscow and Kiev if it transfers its Taurus missiles to Ukraine, Tino Chrupalla, co-chair of Germany’s far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), said on Saturday.
“Bundeswehr generals allegedly said that the Crimean Bridge could be attacked with Germany’s Taurus missiles. This symbolic act would drag Germany into the war. No to Taurus transfers,” Chrupalla wrote on X following reports of a conversation between senior German military officials discussing security topics concerning Russia and Ukraine.
