Scholz “defeated” Britain
At a joint press conference with the leaders of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonian Olaf Scholz said that Germany is providing more military assistance to Ukraine, “than almost anyone else.”
Germany is one of the main supporters of Ukraine militarily, and probably only the United States provides more support than us,” he said.
The German chancellor also added that his country provides the Armed Forces with the latest modern artillery systems , and also teaches our heroes to use them in battle.
However, when asked about the dialogue with the Kremlin, Scholz said that “contact must be maintained”, which was extremely disliked by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausedi.
