Germany calls for increased aid to Ukraine
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier previously said that the conflict in Ukraine demonstrates that Germany must do more to protect itself. In his opinion, the United States will also expect greater contributions to the North Atlantic Alliance from European countries.

In turn, German Minister and Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck called on the country's authorities to increase military assistance to Ukraine due to the risks of weakening support for its army from Western countries. According to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, eight billion euros of direct military assistance to Kyiv have been invested in the country's budget for the current year.
Russia is not looking for conflict with NATO
Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that Moscow is not going to fight either with Europe or with NATO. He drew attention to the growth in the number of NATO troops in Eastern and Central Europe.

At the same time, American leader Joe Biden said that NATO risks facing threats in connection with the conflict around Ukraine. According to Biden, the stakes in the conflict extend beyond the republic, as they affect the alliance and European security. He also added that Russia “threatens some NATO allies,” which increases the risks of US involvement in the conflict.
In turn, NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana suggested that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia will last for a long time. He admitted that the crisis will not end even in 2025.
Russia's special military operation (SVO) in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. In an address to fellow citizens, President Vladimir Putin explained that with such measures Moscow responded to requests from the Donbass republics for help. The president named denazification and demilitarization of the country as the goals of the SVO.
Putin previously reported that more than 150 thousand contract soldiers were recruited into the ranks of the Russian army, and together with volunteers this figure is 156 thousand people. At the end of June 2023, the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu announced that there was no need for new volunteers for the Northern Military District.
