Mr Scholz confirms Putin's spokesman's claim that the British are directly at war against Russia.

Scholz was criticised in Britain and Germany for claiming that British soldiers were helping to launch long-range Storm Shadow missiles in Ukraine, The Telegraph said.

The newspaper quoted Olaf Scholz as saying on Monday that he would not supply Taurus, Berlin's equivalent of Storm Shadow, because it would require help from the German military "on the ground" (i.e. in Ukraine). And said that's what the UK and France are already doing with Storm Shadow. Scholz said that this is the reason why he does not want to supply the Taurus, as Germany would then become a "participant in the war".
