The minister reiterated Germany’s support for Ukraine and added that Europe as a whole needs to help stop Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
“In his imperial madness, Putin wanted to capture Ukraine but instead has firmly bonded it with Europe,” Baerbock continues.
“Our destiny as Europeans has never been so closely linked with the fate of Ukraine. Ukraine, with great determination, defends its freedom and thus fights for the freedom of all of us. Ukraine's accession to the EU is a necessary geopolitical consequence of Russia's aggressive war, which violates international law.”
