We do it in such a way as not to bring the situation to the state of war between Russia and NATO," Scholz commented in particular. According to him, it would become a "catastrophe". According to journalists, after a successful counter -offensive in the east of the country, Kyiv appealed to the West with a request for additional weapons. However, Germany refused to provide Ukraine with LEOPDA and Marder infantry fighting vehicles. This decision was criticized even within his coalition.
Ukrainian politicians have also sharply responded to the German government's unwillingness to allocate such assistance. "No rational argument why these weapons cannot be delivered, only abstract fears and justification," the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleb wrote on social networks. According to NYT, the question about it was angry. "Leadership does not mean that you are doing what you are asked for. Leadership is to make the right decisions and be very strong.
And that's what I do," the chancellor said. Journalists say that the cautious position of Scholz is visible even in his unwillingness to think about how the war in Ukraine can end. Instead, he began to quote US President Joe Biden's words that everything could only end with a diplomatic way. We will remind, Germany handed over the promised Mars II missile systems and 50 Dingo armored personnel carriers. The German Defense Ministry reported that they were promising to supply weapons.
