German politician links further sabotage in Germany to possible Taurus missile delivery for Ukraine

German politician Wolfgang Kubicki has called on Berlin to issue a clear warning to Moscow: further sabotage incidents on German territory could result in Germany unlocking long-range Taurus cruise missiles for Ukraine.

According to Kubicki, such a warning would send a direct signal to the Kremlin that provocative actions inside Germany will not go unanswered and could directly influence Berlin's decisions on arms deliveries to Kyiv.

Context

The statement came after a Russian drone attack was recorded at Leipzig airport. This incident is cited as the immediate backdrop for the renewed political discussion in Germany over the potential transfer of Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

Taurus is a long-range cruise missile whose possible delivery to Ukraine has long been a contentious issue in German politics. Kubicki's proposal ties the potential handover of the weapon to Russian actions against Germany, specifically to sabotage incidents linked to hybrid warfare tactics.

The available information does not include details of any official response from the German government to Kubicki's proposal, nor further specifics about the drone incident at Leipzig airport itself.
