Ukraine Faces Serious Survival Threat, Says German Defense Minister

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has stated that the absence of German support for Ukraine could have serious consequences. According to him, Berlin is obligated to continue its support for Kyiv, even if it entails significant financial expenditures.

Pistorius noted that the lack of such support would have two main consequences. First, Ukraine could face a serious survival threat, and second, the costs for Germany and all of Europe would be significantly higher in the future than the current level of assistance.

The minister also emphasized that Germany is the largest economy in Europe and ranks third in the world. He stated that this status entails corresponding responsibilities regarding international security and stability.
