Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive in Kursk region: Scholz says Germany knew nothing about Ukraine's operation
Kyiv • UNN
The German Chancellor says that Ukraine secretly prepared an operation in the Kursk region of Russia without consulting Berlin and its allies.
Ukraine did not consult with Berlin about its operation in Russia's Kursk region. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this at a joint press conference with Moldovan President Maia Sandu on August 21, Reuters reports, UNN reports.
Details
Ukraine has prepared its military operation in the Kursk region in a very secretive and unreported manner, which is certainly related to the current situation. It is a very limited operation in terms of space and probably also in terms of time
Scholz also said that Germany would continue to be Ukraine's largest ally in Europe, despite recent talk of reducing military support.
Recall
The head of the Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael Roth of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), a member of the ruling coalition, called on the German leadership not to cut military aid to Ukraine.
