The German Chancellor still believes that Russia could threaten NATO bloc countries.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz explained why the Bundeswehr could not comply with Ukraine's request to supply heavy weapons to help in the war with Russia. According to the politician, Russia may still threaten the NATO bloc.
In an interview with Spiegel, Scholz said that Germany needs heavy weapons to be able to protect the alliance from probable aggression of the Russian army.
“This is a difficult compromise that we constantly have to reach together with our partners. The threat to NATO territory from Russia remains. We hear this, in particular, from our Baltic partners, who are asking us to increase the presence of the Bundeswehr. According to agreements within NATO, we must resist a potential attack within 12 days with our ammunition and equipment. I will do my best to ensure this commitment, “the chancellor said.
Scholz stressed that the best option to help Ukraine is to supply former Soviet weapons, which do not require special training from personnel. According to him, Berlin is negotiating its supply with other European countries.
