German Chancellor Scholz defends decision not to deliver long-range missiles to Ukraine
During a surprise visit to Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz addressed two of Kyiv's key demands: supplying German and Swedish-made Taurus long-range missiles and accelerating its NATO membership.
Other German politicians have equally rebuked US President-elect Donald Trump over his demand that NATO's European members should more than double their defence spending.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his New Year’s Eve address, took a veiled swipe at tech billionaire Elon Musk for his vocal support of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Scholz warned that Germany's future would not be shaped by the influence of social media moguls, emphasizing that decisions about the nation's direction should lie with the citizens, not external figures. In a pointed remark, Scholz stated that, despite the growing attention garnered by extreme opinions, the vast majority of reasonable and decent people will ultimately determine the course of the country. The Chancellor’s comments came in response to Musk’s controversial endorsement of AfD, which has drawn criticism from German officials for its extremist views.

Ukraine launched a massive drone and missile attack on Russian territories, damaging factories and closing schools. In retaliation, Russia fired its hypersonic "Oreshnik" missile, escalating tensions. Putin warned of a potential global conflict, accusing the US and Britain of enabling Ukraine’s strikes. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump called for a ceasefire, questioning Washington's future support for Ukraine. As casualties rise and millions are displaced, the crisis mirrors Cold War-era tensions, pushing the West and Moscow into dangerous territory.
