Countries that support Ukraine should stop only expressing concern in response to the latest Russian war crimes as a more powerful response is needed. The plan for NATO membership and the timetable for joining the alliance, presented to Ukraine already at the Vilnius summit, should be such an answer.
This was stated in a comment to Guildhall by a member of the German Bundestag from the CDU/CSU, member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Roderich Kiesewetter, Ukrinform reports.
“We – the supporters of Ukraine – must send a credible signal of strength here and finally stop just expressing our regret about further war crimes. Action is also needed! This must take the form of increased military and financial support for Ukraine, but also further sanctions against Russia and third countries,” the politician said.
“In addition, NATO must make its own demands on Russia, e.g. the withdrawal of weapons from Kaliningrad and by giving Ukraine credible security guarantees. This can only be a definitive timetable for NATO membership and a MAP in July at the Vilnius summit,” summed up Roderich Kiesewetter.
As reported earlier, deputies of the German parliament condemned the blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP dam, for which the vast majority of Bundestag members blame Russia, demanding that those responsible be held accountable.
As reported by CNN, U.S. President Joe Biden and his team are in the midst of a high-stakes conversation with fellow NATO members on how and when Ukraine may join the alliance.

Ukraine needs membership NOW. Hoping Ukraine will cease to exist so this will never happen seems the true motivation of the Bundestag.
Zelensky proposes peace talks in Switzerland.
Zelensky’s address to the Swiss Parliament:
The overall view of the Parliament Hall (from 1:20) lets you see that all far right seats are empty. The far right boycotted the intervention of the Ukrainian President!
It’s a shame !
The values of the far right are to be found somewhere in the Kremlin’s dustbins.
“The values of the far right are to be found somewhere in the Kremlin’s dustbins.”
Everyone has their political ideas. I didn’t want to offend anyone. I speak of “extreme right” only to designate the Swiss party in question (UDC/ SVP) 🙂
I’m wondering if there’s a way to report interesting stories on another spot here. I don’t want to crowd the comments threads if the stories are unrelated to the one I’m posting on.
Anyway, here’s an ironic turn of events, Germany paying Israel for defense weapons. Maybe it will help Germany to resist pressure from favoring moscow.

Since we’re posting unrelated stories… 🙂
‘It Doesn’t Count as a War Crime if You Had Fun’: Inside the Minds of Some Russian Soldiers
At a bar in a once-occupied Ukrainian village, dehumanizing messages on the walls were a stark reminder that the Kremlin wants to stamp out Ukraine and its culture.
They practically admitted in writing of being subhuman dirt, Larry.
Onlyfacts is right, I’ve seen pictures here, of russian troops using the floor and bucket, for toilets in captured Ukrainian homes. Little better than animals.
Even some animals are better, come to think of it. House cats will at least bury their droppings.
“The Turkish president has confirmed his invitation to our president (Putin) to visit Türkiye”
A MAP for Ukraine to enter and a short MAP for Turkey to get out.
