Germany must go “all in” for Ukraine, demands Roderich Kiesewetter. He is also indirectly adding to the dispute with CDU leader Friedrich Merz.
The Ukraine peace summit begins in Switzerland on Saturday (June 15). The meeting in Lucerne is unlikely to bring about an immediate silence of the guns – rather, it is about finding supporters around the world for Volodymyr Selenskyj’s peace plan. And so Germany, Europe and the West will probably have to continue working on building up negotiating pressure on Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
For the CDU MP and former politician, who is currently taking a determined stance on Ukraine issues,armed forcesCommander Roderich Kiesewetter has six concrete steps in mind, as he IPPEN.MEDIA explained – including armaments and sanctions. Probably also against China, a Russia supporter but a trading partner so important for Germany. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) must go “all-in”, says Kiesewetter. The question arises: won’t this require great sacrifices in difficult times? Kiesewetter speaks instead of “investments in our own security”. But he also demands a clear message for the citizens.
“All in” against Putin’s war of aggression: CDU expert Kiesewetter continues to demand – despite quarrel with Merz
“However, we must tell the people the truth and make it clear what is at stake,” stressed Kiesewetter. His far-reaching demand is to redefine prosperity: “No longer just as individual prosperity, but as social resilience.” Despite a rebuke from CDU leader Friedrich Merz, the Baden-Württemberger once again called for Germany to make more financial commitments to Ukraine – albeit without a clear call for a suspension of the debt brake, for example.
“In other countries, social spending has been reprioritized, debts have been incurred, or taxes have been raised to finance rising defense spending,” explains Kiesewetter. “No matter what Germany is doing, supporting Ukraine so that it can win the war cannot be financed out of petty cash – nor with a German home office mentality.”
Escalation with Russia in the Ukraine war? “Self-defense can never constitute an escalation”
“So far, only Ukraine has suffered incredible casualties, tens of thousands of dead, injured, rape, torture, child abduction. Our goal must be to reduce these casualties by stopping Russia,” he told our editorial team. “If we fail to do so, the subsequent costs, our casualties, will be many times higher for our German society and economy.”
The experienced military officer also believes that a Ukrainian drone wave against Russia’s refineries, which has been criticized by the USA – probably with a view to its possible impact on the price of oil – is permissible under international law and “makes sense from a military strategic perspective.” After all, the refineries provide “significant income for Putin’s terror regime and the war effort.” In return, possible fluctuations in the oil market must be accepted – at the moment they are “very limited” anyway.
Kiesewetter also made clear his comments on warnings of an “escalation”, for example in view of the possible deployment of NATO trainers to Ukraine. He supported initiatives such as those by Emmanuel Macron. And the restriction of the use of German weapons against Russian targets only near the Kharkiv region, which is under heavy fire, was “artificial”. It only gave Russia “the space to relocate its logistics and troops again”.
“People who constantly warn of escalations are following Russian propaganda and engaging in self-deterrence. Self-defense and the respect and restoration of of international law can never represent an escalation,” stressed Kiesewetter: “This talk of escalation is a typically German discussion, very egocentric and almost hysterical, as well as anxiously led, circling around itself.” Be Putin but with “his genocidal war of aggression against Ukraine successful”, “terror and war are coming to us”.
