Biden praises Germany for its 'deep' military support for Ukraine

MADRID, 3 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The President of the United States, Joe Biden, praised Germany this Friday before the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, for its "deep" military support for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the framework of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

"You stepped forward to provide critical military support (to Ukraine). And I would say that, beyond military support, the moral support that you have given Ukrainians has been profound. Deep," Biden said, sitting in front of the german chancellor.

The US president has emphasized that, as NATO allies, both countries are making the Alliance "stronger and more capable." Scholz has spoken along the same lines, responding that it is "really important" to act "together" due to the "dangerous threat to peace" that Russia represents.

The German chancellor, who is visiting the White House for the second time since he took office, has also highlighted the good relationship between the United States and Germany. "I really appreciate the very good cooperation between our governments," he said.

Biden and Scholz are scheduled to meet behind closed doors to discuss, fundamentally, security guarantees for Ukraine at a time when Germany, despite sending weapons to Kiev, has been highly critical of the "public competition" that the ads entail. arms supply to the Eastern European country.

The visit comes after the US National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, assured that, at first, Biden had decided not to supply Abrams tanks because the Leopards that Germany refused to send were more useful.

"The president thought that if sending the Abrams would unblock the German refusal (to send Leopard 2 tanks), it was worth doing, even if it was not the most sound decision," he said, alleging that Berlin conditioned Washington in this decision.

Subsequently, the deputy spokesman for the German government, Wolfgang Büchner, stressed that the agreement with the United States for both countries to supply tanks to Ukraine was friendly and there was no pressure from Germany.
