When asked by German media if he was disappointed that Berlin was not providing Ukraine with additional Taurus missiles, Zelensky said that he was only disappointed that Germany had not played “the role it should have played in the first occupation of Ukraine” in 2014.
He added that it was not solely Germany’s fault and that the weakness of the West’s response in 2014 when Russia occupied Crimea “concerns European leaders and the US”.
