We will continue to consistently support Ukraine; at the same time, it is clear that World War III must be prevented,” said SPD leader Lars Klingbeil in an interview with Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) on Friday.

Well-coordinated action by the West is important in this situation. Also as a signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that unity within the Western alliance will remain intact
Klingbeil pointed out.
With regard to the supply of weapons to Ukraine, the politician stated that “we will continue to coordinate with our partners every day, what are the next steps to help Ukraine.”
Spiegel’s weekly website points out that after Russia’s partial mobilization in the war against Ukraine, the right-wing populist AfD has so far been the only party in the Bundestag that has spoken out directly about an impending “World War III.”
World War III is imminent (to us) and Germany will be a direct party in the war due to the ruling coalition’s escalation strategy
AfD co-chairman Tino Chrupalla warned on Wednesday.
Now, SPD leader Lars Klingbeil finds similar drastic words
Spiegel’s notes.
FDP Expert: The current protests in Russia will not shake Putin’s system
FDP foreign policy expert Alexander Graf Lambsdorff warned against overstating the protests in Russia against the partial mobilization. The demonstrations demand respect, “but they are not fit to shake up Putin’s system,” the politician told the Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper on Friday.
The Putin system is perfect for the person
Lambsdorff noted. “He was surrounded by people who, at least outwardly, did not appear disloyal.” People like Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and even former President Dmitry Medvedev have continued to support the president, backing up his threats with frank words.
Added to that is the lack of possible successors.
In such a system, it is not known whether it will continue for the next five or ten years, or it will end tomorrow
said Lambsdorff.
It’s unpredictable.
