Ukraine also has heavy weapons. and learning to manage it – tsn.ua.
Today, German deputies by a majority vote took initiatives to support the supply of Ukrainian heavy weapons.
Only recently, the German government has agreed to supply Ukrainian Cheetah anti-aircraft guns to TSN.
Olaf Scholz’s indecisive position on arming Ukraine was criticized by the opposition and even the government. The Green Party and the Liberals are part of the government, not to support Ukraine with heavy weapons, the Chancellor’s Social Democrats resisted. The head of government himself explained that he refused to help Ukraine with heavy weapons because he feared World War III and a nuclear strike from Russia.
“So our chancellor really thinks that if other countries, and there are many of them, become heavy weapons in Ukraine, they are automatically approaching the war in Europe? This is why the grotesque distortion of causes and effects! Why other weapons do not call for the Third World War, namely German weapons will cause war “, – said the head of the CDU / CSU faction Friedrich Merz.
The largest opposition faction raised the issue of calling the vote, which would be a serious blow to the Chancellor personally, and at the last moment of the compromise was known. Only Putin’s traditional friends, the Left Party and German far-right, opposed the supply of heavy weapons. They are already waiting for the end of the war and it will be possible to rebuild friendly relations with Russia.
“I clearly say war – Germany is not in a state, neither with Ukraine nor with Russia! The majority of the German population does not want to be involved in this war and does not want to take part in this war, “said Tino Hrupalla, leader of the Alternative for Germany faction.
Nevertheless, he supported by a majority of votes the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was not in parliament for discussion. Instead, he went on a business trip to Japan. For the opposition, another reason for criticism is both for the Chancellor’s indecisive position on helping Ukraine with weapons and for its reluctance to talk about it.
But from Tokyo, the chancellor decides that he welcomes the decision of parliamentarians. “We support the US decision to provide Ukraine with 18 howitzers. We organize training for Ukrainians in Germany to effectively manage tanks. Here we also use with the Netherlands. We also decided to provide Cheetah anti-aircraft guns for air defense. All this corresponds to the decision made by our parliament today, “he said. .
However, it is not important to supply the latest developments of the German defense industry to Ukraine directly to Berlin. Soviet-style tanks will be handed over to Slovenia by Slovenia, while Germany will compensate with its tanks. The same tripartite arms exchange for Ukraine is already planned with the Czech Republic.
