After the common Russia in Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf Scholz has a significant military “turning point”, making up for the negligence, but so far almost nothing has been entered, writes the ‘Welt’ daily on Thursday. Noting that Berlin’s allies react impatiently to this, the paper notes that perhaps nowhere have the Germans lost their trust as much as in Poland.
NATO’s 2% target will not be met this year, a spokesman for Chancellor Scholz recently announced. The planned acquisition of F-35 multi-role fighters from the US is also sanctioned and removed.
Support for Ukraine also lags behind what the Berlin allies are giving, writes “Welt”, describing the United States, Great Britain, France and Poland.
“Perhaps somewhere in Germany they have not lost their trust as much as in Poland” – notes “Welt”. “After all, this country has always warned against aggressive Russia and sought Berlin for its policy and security.”
Olaf Scholz’s speech about the “turning point” of the command “received in Warsaw with kindness – although many Poles were quickly influenced that this speech would not be followed by German actions. From the point of view, there are indecision in security policy and outdated influence”.
Poland “became a support for Ukraine and an even closer partner of the US in the field of security,” the newspaper writes. Warsaw “increasingly assesses itself as a military weight – therefore, irritation over the slow change (in Germany) gives way to indifference. Poland wants to increase defense spending from 2.4 percent of economic output to 5 percent cooperation. In July or the month, the effects were achieved: Tanks and gun-howitzers have already been delivered to the port of Gdynia, reports Welt. (MUSH)
