He said this document was submitted by the parliamentary coalition. Earlier today, there was a vote on an opposition bill to provide Ukraine with Taurus missiles, which failed. 182 deputies voted in favor, 480 against, and five abstained.

"This is a coalition document, unlike the opposition one, which was rejected a bit earlier today. The decision is now with Scholz. We're gradually increasing the pressure to achieve a result," Cherniev wrote on Facebook.
