German Foreign Minister Wadpole declared that Berlin stands by Kyiv and must prevent a Russian victory. He argued that allowing Russia to win would set a dangerous precedent for international law.
Wadpole claimed that Russia bears a special responsibility to Ukraine, referring to the transfer of nuclear weapons in the 1990s. He accused Moscow of invading and killing civilians every day instead of guaranteeing sovereignty. The minister concluded that Germany is on the "right side", supporting the attackers.
