The German chancellor emphasized that he did not want to leave any doubt that his government was doing everything possible to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. He added that he would do everything possible to maintain Germany’s support and convince people that doing so was in their interests.
He acknowledged that there were currently debates and reservations about this support in Germany, as well as across the European Union. He said that these issues were being discussed and that, time and again, they reached the same conclusion: they had to stand firm until the terrible war was over. He warned that if Russia succeeded, it would have unpredictable and unprecedented consequences for everyone, including Germany. For this reason, he said that he was standing firmly and clearly by his position and did not intend to back down. He stressed that it was Germany’s historic duty to do everything possible to help Ukraine preserve peace and freedom in Europe.
