British Foreign Minister David Cameron suggested a 'ring swap' missile exchange scheme with Germany, where the UK would donate more Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine and receive Taurus missiles from Germany in return.

London does not share fears expressed by the German chancellor who suggests the supply of Taurus missiles to Ukraine would contribute to escalation.

It is absolutely possible to set limits on the use of these weapons to ensure that they do not contribute to escalation in any way

Britain trusts Ukrainian partners who keep their word and do not use the weapons provided to them in a way that the partners who transfer them would not wish

If Germany is unwilling to send its missiles to Ukraine directly, the UK is ready to use the 'ring exchange' scheme

Germany introduced the 'ring exchange' scheme at the outset of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine

UK suggested Germany exchange Taurus missiles for British Storm Shadows to supply Ukraine with long-range weapons

UK is determined to work closely with German partners on this issue

Cameron said restrictions can be put on weapon use to prevent escalation
