Ambassador of Germany in Panama speaks about the war between Russia and Ukraine from the European perspective

The German ambassador to Panama, Martina Klumpp, spoke this Friday on Radio Panama about the war between Russia and Ukraine from a European perspective, and the concerns that are going through on the eighth day of war.

He indicated that they had been seeing Russian troops approaching Chernobyl for a few days, “which evokes horrendous memories of 1986.”

He stated that last Sunday an extraordinary session of his parliament was held, in which the chancellor has set a pattern and drawn the dimension of what happened, where he clearly said that we are at a turning point in history.

The diplomat highlighted the five tasks formulated by the foreign minister: “The first thing is support for Ukraine; the second thing is to try to reach talks with President Putin to stop this and act on the sanctions at the same time; the third thing is that we assume the historical challenge in which we find ourselves; the fourth thing is to design now, yes, an energy policy that drastically reduces our dependency on fossil imports from Russia; the fifth is to readjust our foreign policy together with our partners in the European Union”.
