Britain is ready to assist Germany in supplying Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine
"We aim to work closely with our German partners on this and other issues to support Ukraine," the Kingdom's Foreign Secretary David Cameron emphasized in response to a question from Süddeutsche Zeitung about London's readiness to help Berlin resolve the problem.
