[新頭殼newtalk] Tension in Eastern Europe as Russian forces threaten to invade Ukraine. A newly dispatched unit from Germany arrived in Lithuania, a NATO ally on the 14th local time, to deal with a possible crisis; but since Ukraine is not a member of NATO, German Chancellor Schouz only agreed to give financial aid.
German Chancellor Olaf Schotz said in an interview in Ukraine on the 14th: “The German side will provide Ukraine with economic assistance, but no weapons assistance.” In response to Ukraine’s desire to join NATO, Schotz said: ” The issue of Ukraine’s accession to NATO is not on the agenda of the talks between the two sides”. Shawz will visit Russia on the 15th to start a serious dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin on European security issues, and said: “We look forward to Russia’s positive response.”
A plane carrying German troops arrived at Kaunas Airport in Lithuania on the 14th. This is the first German troops to arrive in Lithuania since the tension between Russia and Ukraine continued. Schott said that because Germany “has not supported the export of lethal weapons in recent years”, the German government is reviewing Ukraine’s previous request for weapons assistance. “Until the relevant laws are amended, Germany will not send weapons to Ukraine.”
According to Archyde.com, Schotz pledged additional loan assistance of 150 million euros to Ukraine and said at a joint press conference: “Germany will continue to support Ukraine in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict” and provide Ukraine with the corresponding financial aid. Shawz believes that although the new round of “Normandy model” talks held in Berlin, Germany recently failed to achieve a breakthrough, such efforts are meaningful. Under the “Normandy Model”, Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France will work together to find a solution to the Ukraine problem. The four-party talks were held in Berlin on the 10th. After the meeting, representatives of Russia and Ukraine said that “the talks failed to achieve a breakthrough.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to the NATO issue at a press conference. Zelensky said that “Ukraine wants to join NATO” and believes this will be a “security guarantee” for Ukraine. Shawz said the issue of Ukraine’s accession to NATO was not on the agenda of the talks between the two sides.
Xiaoz will visit Russia on the 15th and hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Xiaoz hopes to have a serious dialogue with Russia on European security issues, and said: “Such a direct dialogue is of great significance” and “expects a positive response from Russia.” Previously, the United States and other countries claimed that Russia had the possibility of “invading” Ukraine by gathering troops on the border between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly denied it and said that because NATO activities threaten its national security, Russia will mobilize troops in its own territory. Hope the United States Stop hyping up the Russian “invasion” theory.
