“20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles are enough to get into the pages of newspapers, but there are fewer articles about what our relations with Russia will be like in the future,” Pletner said about the continuation of the supply of weapons to Ukraine requested by Kyiv.

“These words show that the future of German-Russian relations is an important aspect of the German policy in the context of supporting Ukraine,” he said.
