If German rockets fly into Russian territory, the nuclear threat will increase

The delivery of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine could herald a new turning point in relations between Germany and Russia. Western and Chinese analysts see the decision as a dangerous political move that could set the stage for a potential global conflict.

According to Sohu, the initiative of the government led by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to deliver high-precision German weapons to Ukraine is causing major protests in Moscow. Given Russian President Vladimir Putin's "uncompromising stance against massive pressure," the Kremlin is likely to respond to these moves with countermeasures.

Experts are discussing, in particular, restrictions on the use of Taurus missiles - that is, the possibility that the Ukrainian side could target Russian territory. This could lead to even more mention of Russia's nuclear potential and a new round of diplomatic disputes.

French analyst Patrice Bravo made an even more emphatic statement in an article on the AgoraVox portal: “If Germany delivers these missiles, it could be considered a direct military intervention in the conflict from the point of view of international law.”

German Deputy Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful also mentioned Russia’s nuclear capabilities in his statements. This further illustrates how serious the consequences of such decisions could be.

Interestingly, Chancellor Merz had previously stated that she, along with the US, Britain and France, had lifted restrictions on strikes on Russian territory. However, the German government later officially denied this statement, stating that the country’s position had not changed and that no such decisions had been made.

Nevertheless, the Russian Foreign Ministry responded to this issue with a clear statement: if German Taurus missiles were used to attack Russian territory, this would be considered Berlin’s direct participation in the conflict on the side of Kiev.
