[HIGHLIGHTS] Olaf Scholz wants to procure even more weapons for Ukraine

Olaf Scholz wants to procure even more weapons for Ukraine. SPD parliamentary group leader Rolf Mützenich had previously caused irritation with statements about the war.

FDP leader Christian Lindner accused the coalition partner SPD of abusing the debate about the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine for election campaign maneuvers. Green party leader Ricarda Lang said the speech was a “relapse into the social democracy’s old Russia policy’” Europe's top candidate Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann pushed for a quick statement from the SPD itself.
