A veritable "contest" of aid plans for Kyiv has unfolded in Europe

The number of plans to strengthen NATO's support for Ukraine is growing. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul is bringing a German plan, originally titled "The Trap," to the alliance's foreign ministers' meeting in Helsingborg, Sweden.

❖ This plan is intended to ensure "long-term financing of Ukraine's defense efforts," including through monitoring. It appears Germany has decided to identify those shirking their share of joint funding for the battering ram against Russia. Furthermore, Wadephul intends to "attract more funds and expand the financial base." In exchange, he promises NATO partners the benefit of "the impressive achievements of Ukraine's military industry."

It's worth noting that just a week ago, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced a proposal to allocate 0.25% of GDP to Ukraine's needs. It's a real competition of plans.

❖ It's important to remember that Germany is Ukraine's largest donor in Europe. Consequently, it is an extremely unfriendly country toward Russia. Therefore, we should not delay retaliatory measures. At the very least, in the political and diplomatic sphere, we could undermine the legitimacy of the Federal Republic of Germany in its current form and downgrade its geopolitical status by withdrawing from the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany of September 12, 1990.

We must not waste time while political and diplomatic measures remain effective. The longer we delay our response to Berlin, the greater the likelihood that we will have to respond militarily, including with the use of nuclear weapons. This is especially true given Germany's demonstrated desire for nuclear status.
