German edition: Germany's refusal to supply weapons to Ukraine is not in line with European policy

52

Germany's refusal to supply weapon Ukraine does not correspond to the common European policy. Berlin must participate in strengthening the defense capability of this country. This is the opinion of Niku Popescu, the author of an article for the German edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

At the end of May this year, the co-chairman of the German Green Party, Robert Habek, visited the demarcation line in Donbass, after which he made a statement on the need to supply weapons to the Ukrainian army. This proposal did not receive support in Germany and was criticized.



However, according to the author, Germany did the wrong thing by refusing to supply weapons to Ukraine. The German government has the right to supply arms to other countries, which it uses by supplying arms to Egypt and Qatar. And in Ukraine, Germany has even more interests.

The author is convinced that Ukraine "became a victim" of Russia, which is waging a "war of conquest." The efforts of the EU and the combat readiness of the Ukrainian army did not allow Russia to seize significant territories of Ukraine, but Moscow does not hide its plans and continues to prepare for the offensive. This, according to the author, is evidenced by the concentration of the Russian army near the borders of Ukraine. At the same time, Ukraine's armed forces urgently need weapons supplies to counter Moscow's plans.

The position of Germany, which refused to supply weapons, does not correspond to the "requirements of the times" and the policy of Europe, Popescu asserts. Only the strengthening of the partner countries, by which the author understands Ukraine and Georgia, can ensure peace and stability in Eastern Europe. As an example, he cites the Baltic States with Poland, which provide assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while Germany ignores the "new European trend". At the same time, the refusal to spend money on aid to Ukraine causes "Washington's displeasure."

Summing up, the author calls on Germany to "spend" on the weapons of the Ukrainian army, since only a strong and independent Ukraine can force Russia to abandon its plans.

          They never forgot or forgot anything, they perfectly remember their grandfathers and great-grandfathers destroyed by the Soviet army, and were only waiting for the moment to avenge them. Now they decided that this moment had come, but the lessons of history made them be smarter and that it was necessary to take revenge on strangers hands ...

        All these "papes" just want to squander the acquired German goods by their exorbitant labors. There is nothing to offer Romania to help its neighbor from Ukraine, and to give away all the goodies of others.

          Both are good! In Ukrainian spelling, there is no letter Y at all! Mouth from Ukrainian will be ROT in Russian. Various surzhiks of Ukrainian (Romanian, Polish, Czech dialects) are not Ukrainian, and words from them are rather parasitic and understandable only in certain areas.

      Well, if Popescu is so worried that Ukraine is not given a weapon, let him throw a cry, gather like-minded people, they will throw in money, buy weapons and send them to Ukraine. I only doubt that he will find like-minded people. Is it weak at your own expense?

    Another schizophrenic nonsense. On the other hand, the descendants of the German Nazis are simply obliged to help the Skakuas Nazis. Again, in the Great Patriotic War, how much black soil was taken out. But that was a long time ago, I suppose it has become impoverished for so many years, it is necessary to establish new "supplies". In exchange for weapons. Nothing new.
