Ukraine-News: Kremlin backs kill bonuses for Leopard main battle tanks

Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki sees increasing mistrust of Germany in Europe because of the federal government’s Ukraine policy. “I would say that a year ago there was still a lot of trust in Germany from many other countries,” Morawiecki told the “Bild” newspaper in an interview. “Now that pendulum has swung in the direction of distrust. Especially within the family of Central and Eastern European countries and also within the members of the European Union.” Germany could support Ukraine significantly more.

At the same time, he accuses Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) of still misjudging Russian President Vladimir Putin. “We see (…) that Germany is trying to be half pregnant, to rethink a bit and to support Ukraine. But at the same time, they – I mean the government and the chancellor in particular – still seem to believe that “Go back to business as usual with Russia. I don’t think that will ever be possible with this quasi-totalitarian regime.”

Morawiecki is also skeptical about talks with the Kremlin boss. “I think it’s wrong because it only gives Putin oxygen and doesn’t bring anything. Putin actually achieves his goals with such talks, because he shows the rest of the world and his own people: ‘Look, I’m very much in demand, everyone wants to come along talk to me, everything depends on me.'” In the debate about Western fighter jets to Ukraine, Morawiecki was open to the delivery of F16 aircraft.
