Germany's parliament voted against the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to a defense intelligence channel. The vote did not address Patriot missile systems, the report notes. The decision comes amid a broader debate over Germany's long-range missile capabilities. As The Zioneer has reported, Germany previously explored acquiring cruise missiles from Israel and Ukraine after the U.S. canceled the deployment of Tomahawk missiles. The country also allocated $400 million for Patriot interceptor missiles for Ukraine. The Taurus vote represents a setback for Ukraine's efforts to secure long-range strike capabilities. No further details on the vote's margin or timing were provided.
