The United States has been by far the biggest supplier of weapons to Ukraine. Germany is the second biggest supplier providing battle tanks and air defense systems. But for Germany's opposition political party, the Christian Democrats, the country is not doing enough.

Today, in Germany's parliament a motion on sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine failed.

The Taurus cruise missile has a longer range than other missiles available to Ukraine. It would allow Ukraine to hit targets across occupied Crimea, including the Kerch bridge which connects Crimea to Russia.

For more on this, we talk to DW political correspondent Simon Young.

And we talk to Marina Miron, defense analyst from the King's College in London.
