“Germany and Europe support Ukraine. We will not abandon them,” he told SPIEGEL magazine. “One thing is clear: we all, especially Ukrainians, want peace. How can you assume otherwise about President Zelensky?”
Habeck also noted that peace cannot be achieved through humiliation or dictatorship, and said that all efforts should be directed to providing assistance to Ukraine in the short term.

In addition, Habeck raised the possibility of using frozen Russian assets to fight Putin's aggression, which should be an important part of Europe's strategy to strengthen security on the continent.
Europe must do more for its security. To achieve this, it is necessary to summon all its determination and strength. This is not a game,
