Russia’s war against Ukraine – all developments

Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock calls for Align support to Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s new war strategy. Putin assumed that “he could quickly and brutally invade Ukraine and then crush the country,” said the Green politician on Tuesday on the ARD program “Brennpunkt”. “Now he sees that doesn’t work. And his strategy is now designed for the long term.” That means: “We also have to support Ukraine in such a way that we have staying power.”

That means: “More weapons deliveries that we have made so far.” She referred to the so-called ring exchange, in which Germany supports other NATO partners with weapons so that they can in turn deliver weapons of Soviet design to Ukraine. However, her Ukrainian counterpart made it clear: “For the terrible thing that is happening in the Donbass, they need support above all else to be able to fend off what comes from the air – that means artillery, that means anti-aircraft, and that means drones.”

Baerbock added: “And we now have to check whether we are really providing everything for this new strategy so that Ukraine can continue to defend itself.” Otherwise there is a risk that “everything will be flattened” in the Donbass war zone in eastern Ukraine.
