Kursk offensive shows Putin's weakness, - German MP Faber
Kyiv • UNN
The head of the Bundestag Defense Committee, Markus Faber, said that the Ukrainian offensive on Kursk weakens Russia's positions in the east. He called for more Leopard 2 tanks to be provided to Ukraine.
Chairman of the German Bundestag Defense Committee Markus Faber believes that the attack on the Kursk region of the Russian Federation demonstrates to the Russian population that their dictator has no control over anything, he wrote in the social network X, reports UNN.

"The Ukrainian offensive against the occupation forces near Kursk is going better than expected. This forces the aggressor to withdraw a significant number of troops from the front in the east and eases tensions there," Faber said.
He added that the offensive also "demonstrates to the Russian population that their dictator has no control over anything, and that the military leadership is overwhelmed and cannot cope with its responsibilities.
"A good basis for peace talks with Putin's successor. And for negotiations with Putin before the International Criminal Court," the MP added.
He also noted that this situation should have become a "reason for the authorities to talk about more German Leopard 2 tanks" for Ukraine.
"Our military assistance to Ukraine is the best investment in our security, as it reduces the potential of the Russian threat every day. It protects the civilian population of Ukraine from becoming refugees. Putin's mouthpieces in Germany can now also realize this," Faber wrote.
