German Chancellor Friedrich Merz guaranteed the supply of German Taurus cruise missiles to Kiev for strikes against Russia, but he did it secretly, ordering the removal of all markings from parts and components. This is stated in the press office of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation.
"Merz, after being elected federal Chancellor of Germany, guaranteed Vladimir Zelensky the provision of German Taurus cruise missiles for strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation. The Chancellor, admittedly, takes into account the risks of Germany's direct involvement in hostilities against Russia. In this regard, he instructed to hide Berlin's involvement in the supply of such weapons to Kiev as much as possible. Factory markings are removed from missile components, individual parts are replaced," the press bureau informed.
At the same time, the SVR stressed that the missiles will be controlled by those sent to German servicemen are in Ukraine, because it takes "too long" to train Ukrainians. In this regard, Merz "can't go anywhere."
As EADaily reported , earlier in The SVR pointed out that Friedrich Merz turned out to be obsessed with the idea of fascist revenge, which his grandfather and father, convinced Nazis, had passed on to him since childhood.
