Tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine are at its peak. Military activity has increased from both sides. Even in these circumstances, it is not yet decided whether Germany will take military action against Russia or not. For this reason the Western media is viewing Germany as an untrustworthy ally.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is on his way to Washington to meet Joe Biden on Monday. It is believed that the silence that Germany has kept on the tension in Russia-Ukraine will now be broken. Olaf could also send a bigger message, as G
ermany has been criticized for its complicit stand on Russia-Ukraine tensions. Regarding this, the German media house Der Spiegel has even told Scholz invisible.
Germany’s ambassador to the US, Emily Haber, said in a letter to Berlin last week that many people in the American media as well as Congress are questioning Germany’s credibility. Many Republicans believe that Berlin is not taking any major action against Russia because of natural gas. While French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi are in constant contact with Russia.
Germany will increase the number of troops in Lithuania
Olaf Scholz has also indicated on Sunday that it is ready to deploy more troops to Lithuania. The troops will be deployed to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank in response to the build-up of Russian troops near Ukraine’s borders. The US has already approved the deployment of about 3,000 additional troops to strengthen NATO in Poland and Romania.
One year relationship between Germany and Russia
Germany’s complicit stance is troubling to Ukraine and Eastern European countries. Some time ago, the President of the Russian-German Forum, Matthias Platzek, said about this matter – there are many more aspects in this matter. Germany and Russia have had some or the other relationship for a thousand years. Russia’s most famous Queen Catherine was also a German. A part of Germany has been under the influence of the Soviet Union for a long time.
