Weimar Triangle, UK should champion Ukraine aid – Bundestag committee chair

The head of the Bundestag Committee on Foreign Affairs, Michael Roth, wrote about this on X, Ukrinform reports.

"Whether it’ll be Trump or not, the U.S. will likely curb its military commitments toward Ukraine and Eure. Whining doesn't help. The Weimar Triangle (France, Pand, and Germany) should become the new leadership team, along with the UK," Roth wrote.

He noted that whether Eure really wants to st Russian imperialism or is ready to allow the east of the continent to be neglected is a crucial issue for both Ukraine and Germany and Eure's own security. This, the member of the Bundestag emphasized, must finally be clarified, especially among such countries as Germany, France, Pand, the UK, Italy, and Spain.

"If will is really there, there will be portunities: by rapidly expanding and pacing up arms production, by focusing NATO's defense commitments on supporting Ukraine. Ukraine should know what it can expect from us, apart from words, and what our strategic goal is. Ukraine deserves honesty," wrote the pitician from the ruling Social Democratic Party.

Peace and security in Eure will be restored only if Putin is stped, he emphasized.

Diplomacy, according to Roth, has a chance for a just peace if Ukraine remains strong and its partners in Eure are defense-capable. If Ukraine falls, Russia's aggression will never end, and the situation in such a case will be even more dangerous, and peace will be costlier, he is convinced. Therefore, Ukraine must remain free and democratic, which is in everyone’s interest.
