The majority of the ruling coalition in Germany supported a resolution in the European Parliament regarding the transfer of Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
This was reported by Bild.
During the session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, politicians from the SPD, FDP, and Greens largely voted in favor of the resolution stating that the aforementioned missiles are necessary for Kyiv. This occurred against the backdrop of the Bundestag deputies not making a decision on the transfer of Taurus to Ukraine on March 14.
The vote in the European Parliament was on a resolution regarding the "need for unwavering support for Ukraine from the EU." Point 11 of the document emphasized that: "The country especially needs advanced air defense systems, long-range cruise missiles such as Taurus, Storm Shadow and Scalp systems, modern combat aircraft, various types of artillery and ammunition, as well as drones."
According to the publication, during the voting:
451 deputies supported the resolution; 46 were against; 49 abstained. Including representatives of the FDP and Greens unanimously voted in favor of the resolution.
"The vote in Strasbourg shows how isolated the traffic light government in Berlin is with its line. Despite the fact that we, CDU/CSU, welcome the vote of EU deputies from the SPD, Greens, and FDP, presenting opposing positions in Brussels and Berlin is deceiving the voters," said the head of the CDU/CSU group in the EU parliament, Daniel Caspary.
