Reactions from Germany to the war in Ukraine.
01.05.2022
Berlin (dpa) - German Foreign Minister
Annalena Baerbock sees the withdrawal of all Russian soldiers from Ukraine as a
prerequisite for lasting peace in Europe and an end to sanctions against
Russia. “A ceasefire can be only a first step,” the minister told the newspaper
Bild am Sonntag. Though the goal of Germany and Europe in the Ukraine war was
peace, she said that it was about more than the absence of war. Rather, it was
about ensuring that people could live in freedom. Baerbock said that Russia’s
President Vladimir Putin had “irretrievably shattered” the European peace
order, and added: “As much as we may wish for it, there is no way back to the
time before 24 February. We can never again rely on Putin’s promises alone.”

German Foreign
Ministry: Peace On Russia's Terms Could Provoke Another War
German
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that peace on Russia's terms as a
result of the war against Ukraine will not bring security to either Ukraine or
Europe and will become an invitation to the next war.
Baerbock
stated this in an interview for Bild am Sonntag.
Thus,
Baerbock noted that a ceasefire in Ukraine could be the first step towards a
peaceful settlement.
Baerbock
also stressed that partners should help strengthen Ukraine so that it can also
decide on what conditions peace will be concluded.
As
Ukrainian News Agency reported, the media reported that the Bundeswehr was
skeptical about the idea of the German government to transfer self-propelled
howitzers to Ukraine.
The
German authorities agreed to train the Ukrainian military in the use of these
self-propelled guns, as well as transfer a batch of ammunition for
self-propelled howitzers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
There
is no anti-aircraft ammunition in the warehouses of the Bundeswehr. After that,
the Brazilian government offered to sell Ukraine about 300,000 shells for the
Gepard howitzers.
