Quote: "We know that real peace does not come through capitulation. Those who pressure Ukraine to surrender are not negotiating peace but paving the way for another escalation. A ceasefire on Putin’s terms would not be the end of the war – it would be the prelude to the next offensive… Our response to Putin’s war is peace through strength. Peace through European unity and determination."

Details: Baerbock said Germany would provide Ukraine with additional air defence systems, drones and radar equipment in the coming months.

She also emphasised that without peace, European sanctions on Russia will not be lifted.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is also stepping down, has likewise stated that lifting sanctions against Russia before peace is achieved would be a major mistake.

Background: Earlier, Baerbock welcomed the decision by the Bundestag’s budget committee to allocate an additional €3 billion in military aid to Ukraine in 2025.
