"NATO Ally's Taurus Missile Proposal for Ukraine"

The British government has proposed to replenish Ukraine's long-range Storm Shadow missile stocks if Germany replaces its cache with Taurus missiles, aiming to break a deadlock on sending the latter to Ukraine. Germany has been hesitant to supply Taurus missiles, despite calls for their delivery from within Chancellor Olaf Scholz's party and growing pressure from France's promise of SCALP missiles. The missiles are seen as crucial for targeting Russian infrastructure, including the Kerch Bridge, and have been used by Ukraine to strike key Russian targets.
