Quote from Johann Wadephul, defence spokesperson from the CDU/CSU faction: "We must go to Ramstein with commitments, not with promises of hope."

Details: He urged the federal government to "get a move on" and provide further assistance to Kyiv.

Wadephul noted that "we are in a decisive phase of the war", so Ukraine cannot afford a "lull".

He also stressed that the United States cannot make further commitments because of the election campaign.

"That is why Europe, and therefore Germany, is even more important," the CDU/CSU politician concluded.
