"We should be with Ukraine": Scholtz named the steps necessary for the end of the war

According to the German Chancellor, Berlin is ready to give Kiev long -term obligations and security agreements in order for Ukraine to restrain and protect itself from future Russian attacks. The victory of Russia in the war would not only lead to the loss of its status as a free, democratic and independent state, but also have significant consequences for the whole of Europe. This was written in the article for Wall Street Journal. "She (the victory of Russia - ed.

) Would have a serious blow to the liberal world order. The brutal attempt of the Russian Federation can be stolen by force by force for other authoritarian leaders around the world. More and more countries are at risk of becoming victims of a predator in the neighborhood," - Scholt said, adding that this is why the United States and Europe support Ukraine's struggle for freedom. Sholtz calls for every effort to prevent Russia's success.

"If we do not, we can soon wake up in the world, even more unstable, threatening and unpredictable than during the Cold War," he added. German Chancellor also warned that, despite the support of the Allies, Ukraine may soon face a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition. Some financial liabilities are over and others need to continue. He warned that the long-term consequences and the cost of stopping Putin's aggression will "block" any investment now made.

Sholtz stressed the need to take such steps. First of all, according to his statements, Western partners are important to continue supporting Ukraine. Scholz recalled that on February 1, the EU has decided to allocate an additional $ 54 billion financial assistance to Ukraine over the next four years. "This should be supplemented with additional military assistance and I urged my European colleagues to make the necessary budgetary decisions.

Like the US and others, Germany is ready to give Kiev long -term obligations and agreements in the field of security in order for Ukraine to be able to restrain and protect itself from future Russian attacks. As a highly industrial country and a potential EU member, Ukraine will be able to keep a well -equipped modern army if it can reflect Russian aggression. This prospect increases the security of all of us, "Scholt said.

Secondly, he emphasized the need to continue the movement in the strategic direction from both the western and from the east side of the Atlantic. "Putin is trying to undermine our unity and set up our citizens against Ukraine's support. Others around the world are closely watching whether these differences can be used and whether misinformation campaigns can be fixed.

We must prove that they are mistaken by convincing citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that the victory of Russia will make the world a much more dangerous place. It will also exhaust our budgets and jeopardize the freedom and prosperity of each of us, "the German Chancellor explained. "Third, we do not see ourselves in a state of war with Russia and do not seek confrontation with it.

We will resist any attempt to involve the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty in Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine," he said. Fourth, according to Scholz, it is necessary that the collective restraint and defense of NATO remain reliable. "The faster Putin will understand that we are in this for a long time, the faster the war in Ukraine will end. The only way we can contribute to the achievement of long peace is to maintain our support, unity and determination.

We must be with Ukraine as much as it will be Need, " - summed up Scholz. Recall that on February 5, a leading researcher and coordinator of the projects of the Institute for Economic Research and Political Consultations by Alexander Betliy, it is planned that in the future our country will receive no more than 5 billion euros every year from the EU.
