SPD leader Lars Klingbeil defends Rolf Mützenich over Ukraine statements. In a Bundestag debate about arms deliveries to Ukraine, he suggested thinking about “freezing” the war in Ukraine.
Politicians from the coalition partners FDP and the Greens criticized this sharply. Kling beil accused the critics of “deliberately misinterpreting’ the speech. He said there is no contradiction at all between the federal government, the party and the parliamentary group.
