German Greens advocate providing lethal weapons to Ukraine

Co-chairman of the German Greens Robert Gabek has come out in favor of providing Ukraine with weapons so that it could defend itself

According to Ukrainska Pravda, after a visit to Kiev and a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky, the politician said that the Ukrainian authorities’ request for “defensive weapons” was justified.

“If a country like Ukraine is under attack, you cannot prevent it from defending itself”, –  Gabek said.

At the same time, Gabek noted that such a position does not contradict his party’s pacifist position. As for NATO membership for Ukraine, the politician believes that Ukraine should have patience. According to him, the Alliance does not yet have a consensus on this issue, while Ukraine is not yet prepared either.
