According to him, there are “clear rules that have been agreed upon with Ukraine and are working” for the supply of German weapons. He also added that the goal of his policy towards Ukraine is “to prevent this from becoming a big war.”
Scholz made this statement on Sunday, May 26, during a dialogue with citizens in Berlin, the dpa news agency reports.
On Saturday, May 25, German Green Party politician Anton Hofreiter said that parliament had appealed to Scholz to allow Ukraine to attack Russian territory with Western weapons. Deputies believe that in this case we are talking about self-defense.
Meanwhile, on the eve of the European Parliament elections, Scholz’s party is losing ground. In just two weeks, elections will be held in which 350 million residents of EU countries will choose a new parliament for themselves.
In Germany, the European Parliament elections are also seen as an important test of federal policy – and they threaten to be a fiasco, at least for the SPD.
According to a poll by the public opinion research institute INSA, prepared specifically for BILD, the SPD can now count on only 14% of the vote – this is two percentage points less than a month ago.
The CDU/CSU bloc remains the main force and confidently gains 30% of the vote. Alternative for Germany, which European right-wing parties have been disavowing in recent weeks, still gains 17% in Germany and remains in second place.
The Greens can now claim 13% of the votes, the VDP remains at 4%, which does not allow the party to overcome the 5% barrier to enter the Bundestag. The new party “Alliance of Sarah Wagenknecht”, according to the survey, is gaining 7%.
