Many Republicans want to abandon Ukraine and give it to Russia
February 25, 2024The necessity of supplying weapons to Ukraine raises questions about Germany’s commitments to NATO. The production of the missiles requested by Ukraine is too complex and lengthy, and even if production were to begin immediately, the Bundeswehr would only receive the first missiles in 3 years.
On ZDF, military expert Christian Mölling notes that even without Ukraine, Germany is already failing to meet its obligations to NATO, and its defense industry needs immediate expansion if the ruling coalition wants to fulfill its promises regarding the defense capability of the Federal Republic of Germany.
It is worth noting that even with minimal arms shipments to Ukraine, Germany has already depleted significant reserves. German experts and politicians acknowledge that in the event of a sudden war, Germany simply would not have anything to defend itself with. That is why huge budgets are planned not for rearming the army, but when the first results will be achieved is difficult to assess.
