In a recent interview with Deutschlandfunk, SPD politician Möller emphasized that the absence of Tomahawk missiles would pose a greater military challenge than the announced partial withdrawal of US troops. Although intended as a temporary measure until Europe develops its own defense system, Möller noted that such a capability may not be realized until the early 2030s. CDU defense politician Kiesewetter echoed these sentiments, highlighting a perceived decline in the reliability of US military deterrence in Europe and advocating for collaborative missile development with Ukraine.
