Pledges more support to Ukraine: Russia must not win

The three countries promise, among other things, that the production of military material for Ukraine will increase and that a coalition will ensure that Ukraine receives long-range weapons.

The announcement comes after a meeting in Berlin on Friday.

The war in Ukraine

  • Witnesses to SVT: How can the election be called legitimate when there is someone with kpist?

  • Rintamalinja almost paikoillaan Ukrainassa – this sodan suret skögelet justi nyt

  • Björn Fägersten, senior researcher at the Institute for Foreign Policy, calls it a show of unity.

    – But it comes after a few weeks of friction where Germany has been annoyed that the other countries because they are not doing enough for Ukraine, he says in Current.

    Connecting with Europe

    France, which has been criticized for not contributing much aid to Ukraine, has turned to wanting to be a guarantor of Russia not winning the war.

    – Macron has said that a sustainable peace can only be achieved if Ukraine has its entire territory, including Crimea, and such clarity is not often heard these days, says Björn Fägersten.

    What is also new is that they are now linking Ukraine’s fate with Europe’s sovereignty.

    Not looking for conflict

    – It is very clear that Russia is an enemy today.

    Although the three countries say they are united in preventing Russia from winning the war, they point out that they are not seeking direct conflict with Russia either.

    – The real goal for this aid is for Ukraine to get a better starting position in a future negotiation, says Björn Fägersten.
