Hinweise deutscher Aussenpolitiker bringen das Bild des weitsichtigen Strategen im Kanzleramt ins Wanken. Die Entscheidung des Regierungschefs, Leopard 2 in die Ukraine zu schicken, scheint vielmehr hektisch und ohne Abstimmung mit den Koalitionspartnern erfolgt zu sein.
Ukraine rejected the deal as well, so it’s kind of a moot point. That said, it makes no sense for Russia to accept the deal now because the war is with NATO at this point. The openly stated goal for NATO is to weaken Russia and to try take it apart at some point. Russia has to prevent this from happening and that means decisively defeating NATO in Ukraine.
