At a meeting with residents of the city of Lüneburg, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz answered questions about the reasons for refusing to transfer long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine with laughter and humor, reports Bild.
During the meeting, Scholz expressed his position regarding the transfer of weapons, in particular Taurus missiles, and emphasized the need to maintain control over their use. "There are weapons that can be delivered only if control is maintained over everything that is done with them," the chancellor noted.
Scholz expressed the opinion that the issue of arms transfer should not be seen as a discussion between friends, where one asks: "What, you don't trust me?" He emphasized that although he trusted his friends, he was not considering transferring all the weapons to everyone.
With his answers, Scholz caused noisy laughter among those present. His humorous tone and expressive words showed his take on the complex subject of arms transfers and the importance of maintaining control over their use.
After such a response from Chancellor Scholz, one can conclude that Germany approaches the issue of arms transfers with great caution and attention to potential consequences.
