A group of three German MPs have sent a letter to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to demand the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, Der Spiegel reported on Sept. 14. They argue that Ukraine needs the long-range missiles to "specifically weaken Russian war logistics" amidst the ongoing counteroffensive.

I mean, the issue is the worry that Ukraine uses the missiles to attack Russian territory, which Ukraine promised it will not do.

The war is very closely monitored, everyone would know if Ukraine used Taurus to attack Russian territory, so I think Ukraine would keep to the promise for that alone. And really, there are enough Russian targets on Ukrainian territory anyways.

Can Zelensky maybe make a public promise that these Taurus missiles will not be fired on anything outside of Ukraine's borders? Putting his credibility at stake should be enough, no? After all, he wants other weapons and breaking his promises would be a huge negative.
