German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock made clear that sanctions against Russia will only be lifted after a complete withdrawal of its troops from Ukrainian territory, including the Donbas region and Crimea.

“It is important that we can withstand every sanction that we introduce, if necessary, for years,” Baerbock told public broadcaster ARD on Sunday. “We will only lift these sanctions once the Russian troops have left.”


The former Green party co-leader denied that Germany’s decision to send tanks to Ukraine has increased the risk of a nuclear war. Instead, she defended her government’s plan to deliver 50 Gepard tanks.

“That’s the least we can do now,” Baerbock said and announced that Germany will prepare further steps with its allies. Russia should never be able again to wage a war of aggression in violation of international law, she added.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz had warned last week that the sending heavy weapons would increase the risk of a nuclear war with Russia. A few days later, he changed tack and approved the delivery of Gepard tanks.

Nations' territorial integrity will be protected if there is a sustain collective action/sanction against bullying and inter-nation aggression

Sanctions will be there as long as RA keep occupying Ukraine. Russian economy will be isolated. Even after the war, western countries will be wary of doing business with Russia.
Europe is aggressively looking for alternatives to Russian gas and oil. Putin is a threat to world peace. No justification for invasion of ukraine. It is just stupidity. How can you be turning your neighbours to enemies?
