German Chancellor Olaf Scholz faces criticism from the UK and France over claims of their military assistance in Ukraine.

Scholz stands firm against sending long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, highlighting the risk of German involvement in the conflict.

The UK Ministry of Defence denies British troops are operating missiles in Ukraine, asserting it is the purview of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The dispute has intensified European divisions and spurred demands for Germany to supply Taurus missiles to aid Ukraine's defense.
