Wadephul's Visit to Lviv: Germany Stands Firm with Ukraine
Carry Out Necessary Actions, Ukraine - Ukrainian Activist Speaks Out: "Taking Essential Actions"
In a straight-talking stance, Germany's newly appointed Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul (CDU), assured Ukraine of unwavering support. During an ARD-Tagesthemen interview, he emphasized that Germany would remain a stalwart supporter, a message set to be reinforced in the upcoming days.
Arriving in Ukraine for his inaugural visit, Wadephul will attend an informal gathering of EU foreign ministers in the western city of Lviv this Friday. Counterpart Andrij Sybiha, Ukraine's foreign minister, is also expected to be present.
Wadephul expressed eagerness to understand Ukraine's needs, promising that Germany would do whatever is required, as long as it is necessary, until Russia acknowledges the need for peace talks and maintains the ceasefire.
The Sondertribunal: A Deterrent for Aggressive Wars
The CDU politician confirmed that the tribunal's establishment would be a prominent topic at Friday's meeting. This tribunal serves as a stark warning that aggressive wars won't go unpunished, and that the perpetrators will bear the consequences. In essence, it aims to deter potential aggressors in the future, preventing wars in the 21st century.
The upcoming meeting may see the political seal of approval for the planned international Sondertribunal in Lviv. This tribunal will potentially hold Russia accountable for its war of aggression against Ukraine.
