Primary german source on this, a transcript of the press conference: https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuelles/pressekonferenz-merz-kristersson-2394824

Question regarding long range weapons

Frage: Herr Bundeskanzler, als Oppositionsführer haben Sie mehrfach gefordert, Deutschland solle Taurus – ein schwedisch-deutsches Projekt – an die Ukraine liefern. Bisher haben Sie es jedoch nicht getan. Können Sie meinen schwedischen Lesern bitte erklären, warum?

An den schwedischen Ministerpräsidenten: Was würde es bedeuten, wenn Ihr Land Zugang zu ähnlichen Systemen wie Taurus, also Langstreckensystemen, erhalten würde?

Bundeskanzler Merz: Wir sind in den letzten Monaten intensiv dabei, mit der ukrainischen Regierung auch Projekte für „Long-Range Fire“, wie wir es technisch sagen, umzusetzen. Die ukrainische Armee wird mit solchen Waffensystemen ausgerüstet. Wir haben verabredet, dass wir über Details nicht mehr öffentlich reden, auch weil wir der Meinung sind, dass es eine gewisse Unklarheit gegenüber der russischen Seite geben muss, inwieweit wir hier auch militärische Unterstützung leisten. Ich kann nur so viel sagen: Wir tun alles, was wir tun können, um die ukrainische Armee auch mit Waffensystemen auszurüsten, die eine entsprechende Reichweite haben. Das wird in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten, sofern es notwendig sein wird, auch mehr werden, bis hin zur Produktion solcher Waffensysteme in der Ukraine selbst.

The information presented in the article seems valid, but the relevance is questionable, since no concrete actionable information was shared.
