“There is a consensus on this issue,” Olaf Scholz told the weekly. Bild am Sonntagabout the decision of Ukraine’s allies to supply tanks and long-range missiles.
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “German tanks again threaten” Russia, drawing a parallel between the Russian military operation in Ukraine and the war against Nazi troops, timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi troops at Stalingrad.
“Words [de Putin] part of a series of absurd historical comparisons he uses to justify an attack on Ukraine,” commented Olaf Scholz, Build. “But there is no justification for this war,” the German leader stressed.
“Together with our allies, we are supplying tanks to Ukraine so that this country can defend itself. We carefully weigh every arms transfer, in close coordination with our allies, starting with America. Such a joint approach avoids the escalation of the conflict. war,” he said.
Ukraine’s allies pledged to supply “between 120 and 140” Western-made tanks from various countries. Germany will supply 14 Leopard 2 tanks. Portugal will provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Leopard 2 tanks, Prime Minister António Costa said, without specifying how many.
“We are currently working on ditching some of our tanks. I know how many tanks there will be [enviados para a Ucrânia]but that will be announced at the appropriate time,” he said.
In addition to the tanks, Ukraine will also receive GLSDB (small diameter ground bomb) missiles that could nearly double the range of Ukrainian strike forces, the Pentagon said on Friday.
These missiles can hit a target at a distance of 150 kilometers, thereby threatening Russian positions in the rear.
interrogated Build On possible threats from Putin, Olaf Scholz said that during telephone conversations with the President of Russia since the beginning of the conflict, on February 24, 2022, Putin did not express direct threats to the German leader or Germany.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a documentary that he was threatened by a Russian president who mentioned a missile launch. The Kremlin denied the allegations.
The Russian invasion, justified by Putin as the need to “denazify” and demilitarize Ukraine for Russia’s security, was condemned by the international community as a whole, which responded by sending weapons to Ukraine and imposing political and economic sanctions against Russia.
