Germany is ready for dialogue on equal terms

Pistorius emphasized that dialogue about peace and de-escalation can only be conducted on equal terms. He noted that Germany does not seek to provoke escalation or threats but must be capable of defending itself and strengthening its intentions: 'We want to live in peace with you, but do not think that we are weak or that we will not defend ourselves.'

Earlier, the minister reported on the strengthening of Ukrainian air defense through direct purchases of American Patriot systems.

During the interview, the German Defense Minister emphasized the country's readiness to defend its interests and act decisively in the event of a direct threat from Russia, but expressed a desire to engage in dialogue and facilitate a peaceful resolution of the conflict on equal terms.
