According to him, Berlin is in second place in terms of the magnitude of aid provided to the Ukrainian authorities, far ahead of other countries. “We do what we can. The same applies to almost all other allies and partners,” RIA Novosti quotes the minister’s response to the claim that kyiv does not receive enough military aid.
Pistorius was also asked: does this situation mean that a united West cannot “fight back”? To this he stated that Germany is not an ally of Ukraine. This means, explained the head of the Ministry of Defense, that Berlin is not in a situation that forces it to intervene within the framework of any alliance.
Pistorius had previously said that the European Union would not be able to fulfill its promise to supply Kiev with one million shells on time, as Europe does not have sufficient capacity to produce such a quantity of ammunition.
