German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Sunday while participating in a discussion with the citizens during the Open Days of the Chancellory that Berlin doesn’t want the war in Ukraine to escalate to a conflict between Russia and NATO, APA reports citing Teletrader.
For this reason, when it comes to forwarding military aid to Ukraine, it is important to “carefully weigh [each decision],” he explained.
Nonetheless, he reaffirmed that Berlin will be providing Kiev with support “for a long time, for many years.” German Finance Minister Christian Lindner previously shared that the country is planning to provide Ukraine with €5 billion per year in military aid until 2027.
