Germany: “It is too early to say that Ukraine is winning the war”, the Ministry of Defense estimates

“It’s hard to assess right now whether Ukraine is winning the war because we don’t know how the Russians will react now,” Christine Lambrecht said.

Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said today that it is still too early to talk about a “turning point” in the Russia-Ukraine war, despite recent Ukrainian successes on the ground. However, he reiterated Germany’s determination to continue supporting the struggle of the Ukrainians.

“It’s difficult to assess at the moment whether Ukraine is winning the war because we don’t know how the Russians will react now,” Ms Lambrecht told Reuters news agency, adding that “these are clear successes, which certainly contribute to destabilization of Russia”. The successes of the Ukrainian military have led to the weakening of Russian forces and show that the Ukrainians are very well tactically positioned and able to repel attacks with success that no one would expect, the defense minister added, and promised further military assistance. He also noted that Germany will send Ukraine equipment and generators suitable especially for winter. “We will stand by Ukraine as long as necessary,” he stressed.
