German Foreign Minister Wadephul:

German Foreign Minister Wadephul: We provide a great deal of military support, but we also expect things to be purchased from German defense companies, so that there is also a return to German industry and German value creation.

German Foreign Minister Wadephul:

German Foreign Minister Wadephul: We also have expectations of Ukraine — including calling up men capable of defending the country. We can provide data. We know who lives here, who receives social benefits, who is registered here and who has residency status. I do believe these men can be contacted, and perhaps they could receive letters from the Ukrainian government saying that they are supposed to be called up.

German Foreign Minister Wadephul:

German Foreign Minister Wadephul: It is simply true that this is costing us a lot of money, and it is also true that we are short of money overall. Nevertheless, it is right to stand by Ukraine, because you always have to consider what would happen if we didn’t — if Ukraine lost. That would mean that an aggressor like Russia could simply conquer territory again, shoot people, torture people, rape people and abduct children.
