Strong words from Latvian defence minister @Pabriks on 🇩🇪: The Baltic region was the most 🇩🇪friendly. The trust to Germany are now closed to zero. A German Baltic policy doesn’t exist. If 🇩🇪 don’t want this trust turn into mistrust,it needs to change its policies substantially.

„The worst thing Western leaders could come up with is calling Putin every few hours. It is these calls that encourage him to new atrocities. On the contrary, he should be left in a vacuum. No calls. And when he calls - do not answer. This is what really scares him. 100%”

Худшее, что могли придумать западные лидеры, - это названивать Путину каждые несколько часов. Именно эти звонки поощряют его на новые зверства. Наоборот, надо оставить его в вакууме. Никаких звонков. И когда сам позвонит - не отвечать. Вот это его реально испугает. Зассыт 100%.

6. What scenarios are looming? 1️⃣ If 🇺🇸 support will be delayed or decreased, it might be challenging for 🇺🇦 to keep the current frontline already in the coming months. Are we prepared in Europe to replace the 🇺🇸 military deliveries to 🇺🇦of e.g. ammunition?

8. Building up European capabilities takes time, and not all of European allies heard the wake-up call, share the analysis of Russian goals and feel the same urgency. European arms industry due to the lack of orders is in general only slowly catching up with reality.

Niemcy potwierdziły, że kupią 35 samolotów F-35 do nuclear sharing (+dodatkowe 15 Eurofighterów ECR - electronic combat role). Na to wskazywały już przecieki przed przemówieniem Scholza 27.02. Decyzja, której wyczekiwała od Berlina większość sojuszników. 👍

What 🇷🇺 is doing in 🇺🇦 is slaughtering innocent children, women and men for its own gain. It's definitely not "fighting Nazism". Shame on anyone who's falling for this.

I see the narrative counter push of the 🇩🇪government & 🇩🇪German diplomats on supporting Ukraine but this will not change the reality of the lacking military aid. Additionally it deepens the distrust towards🇩🇪 in Ukraine and the CEE. Change of policy not of narrative is needed.

To be clear: Germany is the third largest arms supplier for Ukraine and remains one of Ukraine’s most important financial supporters. And every refugee from Ukraine is welcome in Germany. More than 800.000 refugees have been registered.

I am not sure whether this “liberation narrative” is well received in the CEE, especially 🇵🇱. It may result from 🇩🇪 domestic debate but for many here it obscures 🇩🇪history, also in the context of the damages caused by German occupation 1939-1945 & the debate on compensation.

@shashj Poland delivered more than 300 thanks to Ukraine. The government will probably hand over all Leopard tanks to Kyiv at a later date when more of K2 and Abram tanks are delivered. Will other European allies do the same & order replacement? Question: Why underlining 🇵🇱 here?

In der Ukraine entscheidet sich nicht nur die 🇺🇦Souveränität/Integrität/Zukunft des 🇺🇦 Volkes aber auch die künftige Sicherheit 🇩🇪 Verbündeten an der Ostflanke. Deutsche Ansprüche eine Führungsmacht zu sein sind lächerlich, wenn 🇩🇪weiter zögert die Ukraine mehr zu unterstützten.

All important points: 👉we cannot give 🇷🇺 a veto over 🇺🇦membership in NATO 👉🇺🇦needs to be a member with territories it controls (+a promise not to start unilaterally military actions against🇷🇺 & no recognition of 🇷🇺occupation). This resembles 1955 NATO accession of West Germany

It is difficult not to ask questions about assassinations committed or attempted by Russian services. What is their goal? Why are they so inept? Why to endanger much more important political positions? The Russian responsibility is undeniable but I don’t see the logic behind it.

1 🇩🇪 is the biggest EU state, located in Central Europe. 2 🇩🇪 shaped the 🇷🇺/🇺🇦policy of the West in the past which proved wrong.Thus 🇩🇪 is expected to make up for own mistakes. 3 🇩🇪 claims the ambition to « lead » on European defence - and it is judged accordingly.
