German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock opposed the supply of weapons to Kiev and warned Russia against "military escalation on Ukraine's borders." "A new military escalation will not bring more security to Ukraine," the minister said in an interview with the DPA on Thursday, answering a question about the possibility of supplying weapons.
Burbock claims that the G-7 and the EU "have made it very clear" that further aggravation of the situation, and in particular the violation of international law and Ukraine's sovereignty, will have far-reaching political and economic consequences for Russia. "If we combine our capabilities, it will be a long list [of sanctions]," Burbock said.
According to her, however, at the moment "it is important not to allow a new escalation." "This is possible only through diplomacy - within the Normandy format, but also within the Russia-NATO Council and the OSCE," Burbock said.
