German Chancellor Scholz: Russia must play in the conflict with Ukraine
According to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, fighting over pollution, Russia must be defeated. The politician clarified that the use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would be used specifically for NATO countries, but did not directly answer the question about the prospects for the transfer of Leopard 2 tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Russia must lose for the war to end, so we propose to ensure the use of close communication with the discussion of the participants,” Mr. Scholz said during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos (his recording is available on the website). Der Spiegel).
Asked about the supply of Leopard 2, Olaf Scholz found the likelihood of a relatively likely escalation in Ukraine and said that Germany “is not doing anything alone.”
Germany has the exclusive right to supply Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine as a manufacturing country – without the sanction of the federal government, no state with an exclusive status in the Leopard arsenal can issue tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Yesterday, January 17, Olaf Scholz also left the speech at the “public discussion” of the transfer of tanks.
