Bundestag deputy: training of Ukrainian soldiers and arms supplies to Kiev is direct way to escalate the conflict
Training of Ukrainian military by Western countries in handling of weapons supplied to Kiev may lead to an escalation of the conflict – as noted by Bundestag deputy Eugen Schmidt in his talk with the Soloviev Live channel
According to the Bundestag deputy, Western politicians deny the possibility of escalation of the conflict due to military assistance to Ukraine. “They say that the supply of weapons in no way can serve as an escalation. However, this is not true. The training of Ukrainian soldiers and the allocation of heavy equipment may lead to further escalation. These weapons will kill people there [in Ukraine]," he stressed.
Mr. Schmidt added that these arguments often remain unheard in the West, “Any voice of sanity is perceived there as a mouthpiece of Russian propaganda. Words of any person who adheres to such anti-militarist, anti-war views are being attempted to be distorted.”
The Bundestag deputy did not rule out that the Western countries that are providing military assistance to Ukraine now may become direct participants in hostilities in the future if they do not stop supplying weapons to Kiev.
