UKRAINE WAR: Fierce dispute! Wagenknecht increases pressure on Merz! CDU reacts to BSW Sahra Wagenknecht is demanding that her BSW and the CDU in Thuringia and Saxony should distance themselves from the course of CDU leader Friedrich Merz in Ukraine policy if they form a coalition. "After Friedrich Merz's appalling speech in the Bundestag this week, in which he effectively called for Germany to go to war against Russia, we can only enter into coalitions with his party if the state government clearly distances itself from such positions," the BSW federal chairwoman told "Spiegel". Union parliamentary group leader Merz had called for a tougher course against Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin in the Bundestag on Wednesday. He reiterated this in his newsletter at the weekend. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), together with the heads of government of France and Great Britain, should have made a clear statement to Putin, wrote Merz: "If the war terror against the civilian population does not stop within 24 hours, the range restrictions on the weapons supplied will be lifted. If that is not enough, Germany will supply Taurus cruise missiles to destroy the Russian army's supply routes." Ukraine repeatedly demands that it be allowed to use Western weapons in its defensive struggle against targets on Russian territory. #worldnewschannel #germany #ukraine #russia #war Subscribe to the WELT YouTube Channel / weltvideotv WELT DOKU Channel / weltdoku WELT Podcast Channel / weltpodcast WELT Netzreporter Channel / dienetzreporter The WELT news livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT news channel on Instagram / welt.nachrichtensender WELT on Instagram / welt On our own behalf: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to accept any more comments.
