The Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, has urged European countries, particularly Germany, to prepare for new hybrid attacks from Russia. According to him, Germany is not a mediator in the conflict but openly supports Ukraine.
What are Hybrid Attacks?
Hybrid attacks encompass various forms of aggression that may include cyberattacks, misinformation, economic pressure, and other methods that are not traditional military actions. Scholz emphasized that such attacks could affect all of Europe, and countries must be ready for them.
Germany's Response to Threats
Germany, as one of the leading countries in Europe, plays a crucial role in countering Russian aggression. Scholz noted that:
- Germany must strengthen its defense capabilities.
- It is necessary to enhance cooperation with other European countries.
- It is important to support Ukraine in its struggle for independence.
These steps, according to the Chancellor, will help prevent potential threats from Russia.
International Support for Ukraine
Scholz stressed that the international community must unite efforts to support Ukraine. He called for:
- Providing military assistance to Ukraine.
- Implementing new sanctions against Russia.
- Supporting Ukraine's economic stability.
These measures, in his opinion, are critically important for Ukraine's resilience in the face of external threats.
