We will continue to consistently support Ukraine; at the same time, it is clear that World War III must be avoided,” said Lars Klingbeil, the co-leading SPD leader, in an interview with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND).

Well-coordinated action by the West is important in this situation. Also to signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the unity of the Western alliance is and will remain intact
Klingbeil pointed out.
Regarding the supply of arms to Ukraine, the politician said that “we will continue to coordinate daily with our partners what are the next steps to help Ukraine”.
The website of the weekly “Spiegel” points out that after the partial mobilization of Russia in the war against Ukraine, the right-wing populist party AfD was so far the only party in the Bundestag to speak directly about the ” World War III” to come.
We are threatened with a third world war and Germany would be a direct party to the war due to the escalation strategy of the ruling coalition
AfD co-chairman Tino Chrupalla warned on Wednesday.
Now SPD leader Lars Klingbeil has come up with similar drastic words
“Spiegel” remarks.
FDP expert: Current protests in Russia won’t shake Putin’s system
FDP foreign policy expert Alexander Graf Lambsdorff warned not to overstate the protests in Russia against the partial mobilization. The protests are respectable, “but not suited to upset Putin’s system,” the politician told Augsburger Allgemeine on Friday.
Putin’s system suits him just fine
Lambsdorff pointed out. “He’s surrounded by people who, on the outside at least, don’t seem disloyal.” People like Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and even former President Dmitry Medvedev continue to back the president, reinforcing his threats with strong words.
Moreover, there is no possible successor.
In such systems, it is not known if it will continue for the next five or ten years, or if it will end tomorrow
Says Lambsdorff.
It’s unpredictable.
