Arms delivery to Ukraine accelerates Russian withdrawal, not prolongs it – German Chancellor Scholz
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke at Munich Security Conference (MSC) and urged allies to supply Ukraine with battle tanks. Scholz told the plenum that anyone who could do so should “really do it now.” At the Munich conference, he, along with Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, would promote this initiative, as reported by Spiegel.
In addition, Scholz also defended the arms deliveries in his speech as a contribution to an earlier end to the war.
“It is not our arms deliveries that are prolonging the war. The contrary is true,” asserted Scholz.
Additionally, Scholz stated that “the sooner President Putin realizes that he will not achieve his imperialist goal, the greater the likelihood of an early end to the war, of withdrawal of Russian conquering forces.”
According to the chancellor, Germany now offers security leadership.
Scholz stated that “we take upon ourselves the responsibility that a country of Germany’s size, location, and economic power must bear in such times.”
