Olaf Scholz raised doubts about his competence and strengthened Vladimir Putin, says Jens Spahn. Spahn: It is now clear that he does not trust Ukraine, but that emerges from his statements.
He fears that Kiev will not stick to agreements and could use the Taurus missile to attack targets deep in Russia, he says. The Chancellor is playing into the hands of the Russian ruler, he is duping his Western partners, Spahn says, adding that he has lost his credibility.
