"We are not at war with each other, but with Russia. We shouldn't blame each other," the German foreign minister called the attention of European countries.
"Pointing at each other will not bring peace or freedom to Ukraine. Only Russian President Vladimir Putin would win with that. We must provide more military, humanitarian and financial support to Kyiv.” Baerbock pointed out.
The politician of the Greens also said that Ukraine should be provided with tanks. A few hours later, it was revealed that Germany was sending Leopard 2 tanks to the attacked country, Welt reported.
The politician thus stepped into dangerous territory, as Europe and the NATO member states have so far taken special care to avoid even the appearance of being at war with Russia.
The German foreign minister's statement that the West is "waging war against Russia", combined with the German chancellor's previous admission, indicates that a pre-planned war is taking place against Moscow, wrote Marija Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, in a Telegram post on Wednesday. Zaharova reacted to German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock's speech at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on Tuesday.
