Scholz reiterates his refusal to supply Kiev with Taurus missiles or send troops to Ukraine

"Along with resolute support for Ukraine, one thing is important for me: we will do our best to prevent any escalation of this war," the German chancellor said.

"Moreover, as a head of government, I must take responsibility on issues of war and peace, and security in Europe - and this applies to the Taurus issue. Along with resolute support for Ukraine, one thing is important for me: we will do our best to prevent any escalation of this war, i.e. a war between Russia and NATO," he said in an interview with the Markische Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper.

"We will not send our soldiers to Ukraine. And sending each batch of weapons, we thoroughly analyze what it means in the given context. That is why I decided what I decided," he stressed.

It's unbelievable that this is even a conversation. Even that points to the absolute delusion of the West.
