Germany: We Can't Plunder Our Military For The Sake Of Ukraine by Hanibbal(m): 7:15am On Jul 08, 2022 |
Germany refuses to ‘plunder its own military’ for the sake of Ukraine Germany has said it doesn’t want to “plunder its own military” as it refuses to send armoured vehicles to Ukraine. Berlin has rejected a request to deliver around 200 Fuchs armoured personnel carriers to Kyiv, citing a need to preserve the country’s own security interests. “We support Ukraine with everything that is possible and responsible. But we have to ensure Germany’s ability to defend itself,” Christine Lambrecht, the German defence minister, told the German Press Agency on Thursday. “It is therefore irresponsible to plunder the Bundeswehr (German military), especially in these times, and even to ignore the military advice of the General Inspector.” Ms Lambrecht said her decision was made pursuant to military advice. General Inspector Eberhard Zorn – Germany’s highest-ranking soldier – has previously said the military did not have enough leeway to let Ukraine have the vehicles, although it is unclear exactly how many the German military have in stock. It comes as German MPs are set to limit their consumption of hot water in anticipation of an energy shortage over the winter months. Members of the German parliament are expected to set an example to the public as electricity prices soar to record highs and households are encouraged to save as much heat and power as possible. The move will see all 1,800 instant boilers that provide warm water for bathroom sinks in Berlin’s parliament buildings switched off, according to a report in Der Tagesspiegel. Germany’s opposition Christian Democrats (CDU) wanted the Government’s support in pushing through a vote in parliament on Thursday to allow for the short-term delivery of the personnel carriers. The CDU said it was acting in accordance with a previous commitment by the German government made at the end of April to supply Ukraine with heavy weapons. “For the Ukrainian army, it is a matter of quickly sending reliable material that can be deployed immediately on the front line. Such material is in the Bundeswehr’s inventory and is to be withdrawn from use by the Bundeswehr: the Fuchs armoured transport vehicle,” the application reads. Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, has come under consistent criticism at home and abroad for failing to adequately arm Ukrainian forces, despite continued pledges of military and non-military support. The first delivery of heavy weapons from Ukraine to Germany arrived on June 21, four months after Russia’s invasion began. In addition to seven German-made howitzers (Panzerhaubitze 2000), the delivery included 14,900 anti-tank mines, 500 Stinger air-defence missiles, 2,700 anti-aircraft missiles as well as hand grenades and artillery for handguns. Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, said in his nightly address on Wednesday evening that Western-supplied weapons were “finally” making a significant impact in his country’s war against Russia. “Finally it is felt that the Western artillery – the weapons we received from our partners – started working very powerfully,” he said https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/07/07/germany-refuses-plunder-military-sake-ukraine/ Cc: lalasticlala 1 Like

No wonder Ukraine's energy ministry urges Canada not to return the gas turbine needed to restore the flow of natural gas from Russia to Germany via Nord Stream 1. Ukraine want to throw German economy into recession cheesy. Germans are already turning on Ukraine but this statement by Ukraine is add more fire to it Well this is a political pickle. Russia needs a gas turbine in order to provide gas to Germany, Canada has the turbine and can give it to Russia, but Ukraine is begging Canada to not give it to Russia. Someone is getting screwed, and it ain't Russia. 3 months is not far for so countries while place like Italy and Spain can wait till November. Winter is coming 7 Likes |

Why should they continue to send weapons to Ukraine when Russia keeps destroying them? In a recent interview with Fox News, a Ukrainian pilot described the direct aerial confrontation with the Russian fighter jets as a ‘suicide mission,’ adding, “I wouldn’t even find him [Russian aircraft] on the radar screen by the time he’s already launched a missile.” All the weapons they have been sending to Ukraine are not effective against Russia as confessed by that pilot. But some kids here think Russian aviation is not up to quality with foreign ones let alone surpass them. This pilot just said they can't even track and find Russian planes on their radar, and we are not talking about the SU-57. Fear Russia. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

okeysoninv: More than 400 aircrafts? Are you even listening to yourself? Heck. The UkroNazis can't even win a direct air-to-air confrontation with Russian air forces and here you are typing propanganda because you were there taking records. Russian airforce that keeps bombing the Ukro from the Nazis is a no go area for Russia planes? You should have said UkroNazis can't even fly within their own air space without getting shot down. Lmao. You guys will really cry more blood, especially now that small Russian groups are taking out Ukrainian SAM batteries with machine guns, not missiles anymore. Who does that in modern battle if not Russia? Move aside, homie. It's game over for the comedian-led Ukraine. 5 Likes |

seunny4lif:the turbine is owned and built by Russia, but it was taken to Canada to be serviced by Siemens. Canada said, they won't hand it over to Russia, it will go against their sanction, they will hand it to Germany so that Germany will then give it to Russia. then Canada hands will be clean 1 Like |
