Hodges also criticized the actions of the German government regarding the procurement of Taurus cruise missiles. According to the American general, if the counterattack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fails, the governments of the USA and Germany should be responsible. He attributed the success of the Ukrainian army to the acquisition of high-precision weapons that would allow them to hit targets in the Crimea.
