Message to Zelensky: Don't do it

Although Germany is a reliable ally of Ukraine, official Berlin's reluctance to send Ukraine long-range cruise missiles "Taurus" was a reason for dissatisfaction in Kyiv, according to Reuters.

"I have often told Zelensky that he should stop criticizing Olaf Scholz because I think it is unfair," Rutte said.

NATO Secretary General also added that he, unlike Scholz, would supply Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles and would not place restrictions on their use.

Let's recall that Rutte and Zelensky met on December 19, when, as reported by the media, they discussed strengthening Ukraine's anti-aircraft defense.
