If Moscow does not fulfill this condition within 24 hours, Berlin will supply Kyiv with long-range Taurus missiles and allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike deep into Russian territory at military infrastructure facilities.
At the same time, he emphasized that he would announce his position to Putin with the support of his allies.
— If there is a reason for this and an agreement is reached among European and transatlantic partners, then, of course, I am ready, — Merz summed up.
