“Strictly speaking, of course, this is how it is,” RIA Novosti quotes his commentary on the opinion that the conflict in Ukraine is being prolonged due to the supply of weapons.
Kuhnert believes that in the absence of Western assistance, "Ukraine would have been captured by the Russians within a few months."
Earlier, the chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, advocated sending fighter jets to Ukraine, saying that the supply of combat aircraft to Kyiv would not make the West a party to the conflict.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he would do everything necessary to prevent the conflict over Ukraine from turning into a confrontation between Russia and NATO.
