Ukraine MP says key German lawmakers reach consensus on long-range missile supply


(Reuters) - A senior Ukrainian lawmaker said on Monday that key parliamentary factions in Germany had "reached a consensus" to supply Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles with a range of 500 km (310 miles) but that an official decision was yet to come.

Germany's defence minister said last week Berlin does not plan to supply the missiles for now and that the weapons are not the most urgent priority. A ministry spokesperson told Reuters on Monday that Berlin's position had not changed.
