Germany and Europe must take more responsibility for security

The German Federal Republic and the EU will also have to fill a "certain vacuum" in this area, the head of the Munich International Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, said.

The German Federal Republic and the EU will also have to fill a “certain vacuum” in this area, the head of the Munich International Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, said.

He welcomed Germany’s leadership in Europe on military aid to Ukraine. According to Heusgen, the German Chancellor should make sure that the whole of Europe provides assistance to Kyiv, because “Putin has made it clear that if he defeats Ukraine, he will not stop.” At the same time, he noted that Europeans could save a lot of money if they finally cooperate more closely with each other in the defense sector.
