According to her, the phrase about
support for Ukraine "as long as it takes" will be just words
words, "if we do not continue to support Ukraine together with our
European partners to a much greater extent".
Ukraine needs more ammunition, more spare parts, and we need to mobilize the Taurus immediately to make it completely difficult for Russia to resupply. And the much-touted European F-16 coalition needs to come online much faster if we are to counter Russian air superiority. Putin is counting on us being afraid of our own bravery. And he is obviously right. This hesitation is very bitter,
Sarah Nunni, the security spokesperson for the German Greens, also
also called for reliable assistance to Ukraine from Germany. According to Nunni,
"there is a need for certainty in planning when it comes to German
support" Ukraine, adding that "there is currently not enough of it because of the
tense budget discussions".
The MP noted that
Ukraine is currently in dire need of "ammunition for artillery, Taurus and
spare parts for the large equipment we supply".
