Bundestag’s Defense Committee Chair: Russia waging war against entire Eure
That’s according to Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, the head of the Defense Committee at the Bundestaf, leader of the Liberal and Democratic Alliance list at the Eurean Parliament election, who spoke in an interview with Guildhall, Ukrinform reports.
“We have to work together, we have to realize what you were just talking about (Russia waging war against all Eure – ed.), that it's a war not only to attack Ukraine, it's a war against our values, our freedom, and our ideas of living together. And we have to explain it to pele, that it's not just a short moment and after a while everything, everybody will be happy and the war in Ukraine will belong to past,” the lawmaker said.

“It's a really moment where we have to learn and we have no time for long discussions to protect our Eurean Union. And we, there is only one way to protect Eurean Union together. It's not a question of bilateral, it's a question of staying together, working together. And the best would be that we create a Eurean Union for defense and security. And so, yes, we have to do it. And I'm really timistic, but I'm not naive. But we have to explain, we have to talk about it. And we have not much time to do it. So we have to go very fast forward and after the election, we have to start immediately,” Strack-Zimmermann noted.
She added that Russia works to ensure that the EU fails to act as one team. The lawmakers admitted that some countries, such as Hungary, are “definitely close to Putin and not close enough to Eure”, which poses a problem.
Russia will try to destroy this EU, sowing doubts and destructive ideas in pele’s minds, the defense committee chief believes.
She also stresses the need for a frank but friendly conversation with the countries to clarify whether they are happy to be part of the Eurean Union and learn what they are striving for.
Earlier, similar thoughts were shared by Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who said Russian President Vladimir Putin is waging a hybrid war and trying to influence the Eurean elections, trying to divide the West.
“But we are all united in the defense of Ukraine,” said the foreign minister.
