Ukrainska Pravda - Every missile Putin fires also targets European security – German foreign minister

Ivanna Kostina, Yevhen Kizilov — Friday, 29 November 2024, 17:33



German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock believes that every missile launched by Putin is also aimed at European security, highlighting the need for greater investment in defense.

Source: Baerbock’s post on X (Twitter), as reported by European Pravda

Details: The minister commented on Russia’s latest combined attack on Ukraine.

Quote: "Air-raid warnings and emergency power outages across Ukraine, 4.5 million people without electricity. Every missile Putin launches is also targeting our European security. We all need to invest even more in our peace. Our additional air defence systems are a first step."

Here's the tweet:
Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock
@ABaerbock
Raketenalarm & Notstromabschaltungen in der ganzen #Ukraine, 4,5 Millionen ohne Strom. Jede Rakete Putins zielt auch auf unsere europäische Sicherheit. Wir alle müssen noch mehr in unseren Frieden investieren. Unsere weiteren Systeme zur Luftverteidigung sind der erste Schritt.

President Biden leaves.

Our NATO allies are coalescing to figure out how to maintain momentum with Ukraine going forward. Germany has really stepped up after those early months of hedging and sending mixed messages.

We are also seeing more confrontations in the skies, that bizarre situation where five NATO planes were ostensibly conducting recon missions over Kaliningrad, what seems to be the intensified effort of NATO to seize the Yi Peng 3. Things could be a little tense for the next seven or so weeks.

Some of this NATO assertiveness in Europe almost certainly is a response to all these suspected incidents of Russian sabotage across the continent. I'm relieved they are finally going to respond.
