Escalation continues between the West and Russia
Attacks on civilians and growing concerns about Russia’s use of chemical weapons: A debate has erupted in Germany regarding alleged war crimes in Ukraine over whether Berlin should make heavy weapons available to help Kiev. The Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbockfor example, it has come out in favor.
In all the statements, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj raises his demand for heavy weapons. Ukraine needs it, for example, to liberate the city of Mariupol. “If we had airplanes and enough heavy armored vehicles and the necessary artillery, we could do it,” she says.
Former political-military adviser to the former Chancellor Angela Merkel has spoken out against the delivery of heavy weapons to Ukraine. Former Brigadier General Erich Vad he told the German news agency that these kinds of deliveries in Kiev are potentially a “path to World War III”.
Complex weapon systems such as the tank Leopard or the infantry combat vehicle Marder they can only be operated and used properly after years of training, Vad said. They are of no use to Ukrainians militarily at the moment and not even in the foreseeable future.
“We are doing a lot of rhetoric about the war,” Vad said. “But as we all know, the road to hell is always paved with good intentions. If we do not want World War III, sooner or later we will have to get out of this logic of military escalation and start negotiations “.
Vad warned against stamping Vladimir Putin like a pathological despot with whom one can no longer speak. As terrible as the war in Ukraine is in violation of international law, it is part of a chain of recent wars that are all comparable.
