The Bundestag believes that the war in Ukraine is in a decisive phase.



Bundestag deputy from the Free Democratic Party Marie-Agyness Strack-Zimmerman initiates a conference "on Ukraine". Within its framework, the politicians intend to hear from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about the already provided and planned assistance to Ukraine. Welt writes about it.

Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann said that the meeting will be held with representatives of the armed industry, trade unions and the Bundeswehr.

We will be able to sit down at the table and agree on further steps to assist Ukraine,” the deputy said.

She also noted that the main purpose of the meeting was to streamline the information and draw up a plan of assistance.

Strack-Zimmerman believes that the war in Ukraine is in a decisive phase.

While the Ukrainian army courageously resists the brutal Russian invasion, trying to contain the Russian army and celebrating its own military successes thanks to our humanitarian, economic and military support, Russia continues to prepare for big offensives, the deputy warns.

She believes that how long Ukraine will be able to defend itself and whether it will eventually succeed in the war depends, "in particular, on the support of Germany."

Germany must take on the leadership role demanded by its Western partners in Europe and, of course, move forward with determination and courage, Strack-Zimmerman concluded.
