Baerbock was received with great applause and cheers for the hour-long discussion with citizens in the completely overcrowded Weltsaal of the Federal Foreign Office. Even with their answers, there was always loud applause from the scene.
If an end to the war cannot be reached through negotiations at the moment, “then we have the choice of either doing nothing,” said Baerbock. “Or we say we will provide military support so that further advances by the Russians can be prevented.” “awful as it is, for the only one we can go. Because the alternative would be to simply abandon millions of people to their fate.” One cannot “simply take responsibility” for this.
