“When the world changes, politics has to change,” said Baerbock on Saturday in Cottbus as a speaker at a Green party conference.
Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) has justified arms deliveries to Ukraine in view of the Russian war of aggression. “We support the Ukrainians so that they can defend themselves and that they can fight for their security and their peace,” she said in Cottbus at the Greens state party conference.
Baerbock warned that Putin’s aggression, which violates international law, is not only an attack on the sovereignty of Ukraine and on 40 million Ukrainians, but also an attack on the European peace order.
However, one cannot intervene directly in the war because this would endanger Ukraine’s neighboring countries, which are members of NATO. “It is important that we condemn this war in the strongest possible terms and state clearly who can end this war – and that is the Russian President.”

Baerbock also pointed out the necessary support for war refugees. “Yesterday we launched an airlift as a signal that further flights will follow, throughout Europe and across the Atlantic,” said the Foreign Minister. “It will be thousands of flights. Eight to ten million refugees will come and we will take them all in.”
