Our source in the Office of the President of Ukraine said that Germany is going to take on a key role in providing military aid to Ukraine. If confirmed, Berlin would become the fourth country to receive one of the tracks of Western support amid the ongoing standoff with Russia. This is a program about changing Germany's approach to the issue of assistance to Kyiv, which can significantly affect the development of the war.
Britain was the first, then the US President became the main actor, and at the beginning of this year, France. Zelenskyi has already held talks with Scholtz, who has expressed readiness to increase military aid to Ukraine. At the same time, Bankova was inspired by a possible change of chancellor in Germany, after CDU leader Friedrich Mertz's statement that he is ready to hold ultimatum negotiations with Russian President Putin if he is elected chancellor of Germany.
"If there is a reason for this and an agreement is reached among European and transatlantic partners, then, of course, yes," he said. At the same time, Mertz noted that "there is no need to nurture illusions." He emphasized that Russia should be demanded as an ultimatum to stop striking targets in Ukraine within 24 hours, otherwise it should be allowed to strike with German weapons deep into Russia, and later even deploy Taurus cruise missiles.
