In an interview, Major General Christian Freuding, head of Germany’s Ukraine Crisis Staff, remains firm on the nation’s ongoing military support for Ukraine, despite political changes in Berlin. He emphasizes the importance of military aid, particularly in air defense, as Russia continues its aggressive offensives. Freuding underscores that there is no signs of negotiated peace from Russia, with Putin’s demands likely to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. He calls for a concerted effort to prepare for a long-term conflict and stresses that unity in Western support for Ukraine is imperative to counter the threat.
