Human rights defender and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who advocates for Ukraine on the international stage, Oleksandra Matviichuk, has called on Germany to supply Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles and to take a more decisive stance against Russia, UATV English<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was stated by\u00a0DW<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matviichuk noted that it takes Russian missiles less than a minute to reach, for example, a school in Kharkiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only way to prevent this is to stop these missiles while they are still at a military airfield in Russia. For that, we need Taurus,\u201d she told the media group Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As stated, the human rights defender urged Germany to more thoroughly analyse the mistakes the country had made in its relations with Russia, particularly highlighting cases of bribery of the German elite during the construction of the gas pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her view, until 2022, Germany \u2014 like the civilised world in general \u2014 allowed Moscow to act with impunity for far too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRussian war crimes in Chechnya, Moldova, Georgia, Mali, Libya, Syria \u2014 no one was held accountable,\u201d Matviichuk emphasised, calling on Berlin to act more decisively now by reassessing its overall policy toward Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are living in times that test all of us for genuine leadership, genuine courage, and genuine responsibility,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz did not oppose supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine. However, after taking office, he has not made the corresponding decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported earlier in November, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius stated that discussing the deployment of German troops to ensure a ceasefire \u2014 should one be reached in Ukraine \u2014 is premature, and\u00a0the possibility of transferring long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine is not on the agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
