#BERLIN, March 15. The majority of Bundestag MPs voted against a new resolution of the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union bloc, demanding that Germany send Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

As many as 495 parliamentarians out of 690 present voted to reject the resolution, 190 voted in its favor and five more abstained. The meeting was broadcast by local TV channels.

#German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has repeatedly rejected the idea of sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine. According to him, the effective use of these missiles requires the involvement of German military personnel, and this is precisely the line he does not want to cross.
