Germany’s emphasis on the need to continue supporting Ukraine

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, quoted by “Spiegel” weekly, Olaf Schultz In his speech on the occasion of Easter, the Prime Minister of Germany emphasized: Peace without freedom means oppression. There is no peace without justice. That is why we support Ukraine in the fight for a just peace – as long as it is necessary. of 107,000 martyrs and wounded, said that during Easter, Christians around the world prayed for a more peaceful world. We all long for a more peaceful world. The people of the Middle East and Ukraine also want nothing but peace.

Scholz stressed that Ukraine’s support “is also important for us and for our security.” “For decades, peace in Europe has been based on a very central principle: borders should not be moved by force. “Never again!” Vladimir Putin’s Russia has broken this principle.

But it is up to us to make this principle valid again, the German chancellor said. “By continuing to support Ukraine – decisively and cautiously.” Germany is also investing more in its security, and of course by keeping the alliance together instead of falling apart and disuniting. Especially since we are united in the belief that law must prevail over violence. Chancellor in his video message ended with a wish for a happy holiday “even in this difficult time”. War is more likely. According to him, the risk of exactly this scenario is increasing. In an interview with Die Welt newspaper, he said: “I see the developments in Ukraine with increasing concern.”

This German official In another part of this conversation, he stated: “Contrary to expectations, Russia has not yet reached its war goals. But Russia has now turned its entire economy into a war economy and is producing weapons and ammunition far beyond its current needs.” This means that Russia is massively rearming, much more than what is being used in the war against Ukraine.

Mertz once again stressed the importance of the possible delivery of Taros cruise missiles to Ukraine. He emphasized: Taurus cruise missiles are not a silver bullet. But this could seriously affect Ukraine’s supply lines for the Russian military, the German opposition leader said. This issue is of great importance for the successful self-defense of Ukraine.

For months, there have been discussions in Germany about the possible delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine. German chancellor Olaf Schultz vehemently denies the handover – also on the grounds that Germany could be drawn into war.

When asked if the chancellor was right, Mertz said: “Both the manufacturers and key representatives of the German military have reliably stated that the Taurus can be used without German troops and that Germany will not become a side in the war. But the chancellor does not want this establishment, the chancellor decides about it.”
