German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock emphasized the necessity for Europe to apply pressure on the US to uphold support for NATO allies while addressing Ukraine's war. Following controversial remarks by Trump regarding the necessity of Ukrainian President Zelensky at peace talks, Baerbock warned against agreements that sacrifice Ukrainian territory without security guarantees. She insisted that any peace not genuinely benefiting Ukraine would lead to further conflict, reflecting a stark stance amid evolving transatlantic relations and Germany’s commitment to strengthening its military capabilities since Russia’s invasion.
"We are increasing the pressure on the Americans so that they have as much to lose as possible if they no longer stand by the side of the liberal democracies of Europe."
"A false peace that is not peace but blackmail or a capitulation is not peace, but the opposite: further preparation for even more war and violence."
