Zelensky and the German Chancellor held secret missile talks!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Chancellor Friedrich Merz during his visit to Germany and discussed, among other important issues, the possibility of supplying German-made TAURUS cruise missiles to Ukraine. Zelensky said this in an interview with RTL on May 28.

However, the leaders of the two countries agreed not to make the negotiations on this topic public. Zelensky answered a journalist's question about the missile issue as follows:

"There are some topics that we decided not to make public. We have discussed the issue of TAURUS missiles with the Chancellor twice, and we are currently actively working in this direction. But I cannot give you more information about this, because I made a promise to the Chancellor on this issue and I will keep my word."

At the same time, Zelensky noted that there was mutual understanding in his conversations with the German Chancellor and once again confirmed that this missile issue is an important part of bilateral cooperation.

The Ukrainian president stressed that although the TAURUS cruise missiles are one of the most important weapons that Ukraine can use, they alone are not capable of completely stopping Russia.

“To be honest, TAURUS is not enough to completely repel Russian attacks. We need Patriot defense systems, we need to increase political pressure, we need to further deepen the unity between Europe and America. It is also very important to introduce new and strong packages of sanctions against Russia. If we do not strengthen Ukraine sufficiently, Russia's attacks may become even more serious,” Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian leader also stressed the importance of further expanding and deepening defense cooperation with Germany. According to him, military-technical cooperation between the two countries is of great importance not only for the security of Ukraine, but also for the security of all of Europe.

International observers are also closely following these meetings and negotiations. Europe and the United States are trying to strengthen their support for Ukraine in the fight against Russia through military assistance to Ukraine.

So, it remains an interesting question as to what changes in European security these secret missile talks between Zelensky and the German Chancellor will bring. The whole world will be watching this issue closely in the coming weeks.
