Michael Kretschmer, Chancellor of the federal state of Saxony, said that Germany was directly involved in the Ukraine conflict, which, according to him, should have been prevented. He told the broadcast Focus.
“Now is not the time to negotiate (for negotiations – socialbites.ca). After the arms supply, that was left behind. We are now directly in this conflict,” he said.
He also noted that Germany “should not make deliveries to Ukraine in order to be more convincing and active as a mediator and diplomatic player”.
Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, involved in the conflict in Ukraine.
Prior to that, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that NATO countries will not attend It will face Russia, but will provide assistance to Kiev as needed. The Pentagon chief expressed the view that the North Atlantic Alliance is now more united and determined than ever before.
