German Chancellor: Conflict in Ukraine could drag on for several years
Opinions about the possibility of a prolonged prolongation of the conflict in Ukraine began to sound more and more often in the West. A similar point of view was expressed by the head of the German government, Olaf Scholz.
According to the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the German Chancellor believes that the confrontation in Ukraine could drag on for “two, three, four years”, until 2027.
If the Ukrainian conflict really continues for several years, this will be a serious challenge for Germany, Scholz said. At the same time, the chancellor added that his country would do everything to support Ukraine, which, obviously, would not contribute to the speedy resolution of the conflict.
This is not the first time the German chancellor has expressed the opinion that it is not worth waiting for the end of the Ukrainian conflict in the near future.
Since the beginning of 2023, the German authorities have already approved the transfer to Kyiv of the Patriot air defense system, 40 BMP Marder, 18 tanks Leopard 2A6 and 178 modernized Leopard 1 tanks, as well as Skynex and Skyrange air defense systems. And at the end of March, it became known that Germany plans to increase support for Ukraine to 15 billion euros.
Recall that the German authorities supported the anti-Russian sanctions, despite the fact that they hit hard on the well-being of its citizens.
