The German Foreign Minister believes that the war in Ukraine may continue until next year. We need to prepare for this.
Annalena Burbock believes that Ukraine needs new arms supplies in the autumn so that the state can defend itself. Very soon, Germany will provide Ukraine with an air defense system.
We must prepare for the continuation of the war
Now we need extra, fast, extra supplies in the fall so that Ukrainians can now protect themselves. At the same time, we must be prepared for the fact that next year the war will continue. Burbock said.
In addition, the Foreign Minister said that in the coming weeks, Germany will deliver the Iris-T air defense system to Ukraine. And next year there will be other systems.
A German political scientist explained why Germany is transferring little equipment to Ukraine
The German Ministry of Defense did not support the proposal to provide Ukraine with more number of weapons. German political scientist Andreas Umland explained the country's decision.
According to him, Germany does not have as many weapons and equipment as, for example, America. In addition, the West's policy is now in place not to transfer Western-style tanks to Ukraine.
The political scientist also noted that military cooperation is new for Germany. “The government is looking at other countries and looking for its own way in this. That's why everything is so slow,” says Umland.
