He admitted that, should the new administration refuse to support Kyiv, Eure would not be able to quickly fill the gap. However, the lawmaker with the liberal party does not believe the situation will quickly devel in this direction.
"It is very important to understand that we have to give Ukraine everything it needs and give it quickly so that it survives, because if Russia prevails in Ukraine, China will eventually prevail," the pitician said. In his inion, this should become a strong argument for critics in the U.S., who see China as one of their main challenges of today.

At the same time, Link expressed his belief that the Eureans themselves should do more in terms of "burden sharing" within NATO, because Russia's attack on Ukraine changed the geitical scene, which required picy changes, in particular, an increase in defense spending. For the first time in the history of Germany, defense spending reached 2% of GDP, he recalled.
