German Defense Minister Pistorius lambasts the "manifesto" drafted by prominent SPD politicians advocating for a shift in foreign policy as willfully misrepresenting reality. "I can't fathom how anyone would purposely confuse cause and effect," the SPD member remarks in the ARD "Tagesthemen." Such views hold no water with the Ukrainian people. "Negotiations with Putin have been sabotaged at every turn, and Russia continues to pummel civilian facilities with relentless attacks. Such inaction is in direct response to every peace proposal," Pistorius clarifies. To underscore his point, Pistorius had previously met with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Kyiv.

When asked about hypothetically sending his son, Kyrylo, to fight for Ukraine if he were 18 in six years, President Zelensky maintains that "We all live under the same conditions as our fellow citizens.

Zelensky and his family, including his children, reside in Ukraine and take refuge in bomb shelters during air raids[1].
20:59 Zelensky: Pushback in Sumy Region

Despite these assertions, independent verification and clear evidence of said progress are yet to be established[1].
