Germany assumes that US will continue to support Ukraine, - German government spokesman Büchner
This was stated by Deputy Spokesperson for the German Federal Government Wolfgang Büchner at a briefing on Wednesday, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
"We believe that the United States, as President Biden announced, will continue to support Ukraine. We believe in the promises of the American president... The chancellor assumes that the United States will continue to support Ukraine," Büchner said.
He did not speculate on how events will develop in the future with the approval of $61 billion for Ukraine.
At the same time, the Federal Republic itself considers it its task to continue to help Ukraine.
"It is quite clear to us as a federal government that Germany will continue to do everything in its power to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression," assured Foreign Ministry spokesman Christian Wagner. He reminded that Germany has already increased its bilateral support, in particular, 8 billion euros are planned for military support next year.
Regarding the European Union's allocation of 50 billion euros in financial aid to Ukraine, the diplomat noted that 26 EU members were ready to vote for it in mid-December.
"For Germany, the Ukrainian issue remains a priority, so at the beginning of next year we will continue to make every effort to do so," Wagner said, adding that the 26 states "will remain able to act" despite the position of one country blocking the issue. He did not answer the question whether there is a "plan B" in case Hungary's position does not change.
