Will Ukraine Receive Tomahawk And Taurus Missiles: German General Gave A Forecast

Russia is very much afraid of these weapons.

U.S. President Donald Trump still wants to be a neutral mediator rather than a supporter of Ukraine, so Tomahawk missiles are probably not worth counting on in the near future.

This is what retired German Brigadier General Klaus Wittmann said in an interview with Ukrinform.

He noted that even if Trump finally realizes that Putin is playing him, stalling, and doesn't want a possible ceasefire or peace, that doesn't mean he will decide to maximize military support for Ukraine.

"He will step aside and want instead to play the role of a neutral mediator, not a supporter of Ukraine. And he sees the war against Ukraine more as a tantalizing obstacle because what he really wants is to have normal relations with Russia again, above all economically beneficial relations. So the threat to Russia that was contained in the Tomahawk reference was neutralized by Putin's call before he even spoke to Zelensky. It is a great shame, but Ukraine apparently should not expect Tomahawk any time soon," Wittmann stressed.

At the same time, he expressed his belief that the issue of Taurus missiles is not off the agenda, because Ukraine needs long-range means for strikes against the Russian Federation to cut logistics, strike command centers, military airfields, launch sites and industrial production facilities, as well as Russian oil production.

The general emphasizes that all strikes deep into Russian territory are legitimate targets from a military point of view and according to international law:

"The very intention to start training Ukrainian soldiers how to operate Taurus missiles would be a signal. And how much Russia fears these weapons is evident from its reaction to the mention of the Tomahawk."

He noted that Berlin and Washington are unlikely to consider each other's actions regarding the transfer of long-range missiles, but if the United States did so, there might be fewer obstacles for Germany.
