“Look at her ΜπουκαWrites the Süddeutsche Zeitung “To see the totality of the Putin regime,” he said. “Yes. Putin is a criminal, the soldiers are the perpetrators war crimes, a whole mechanism that allows untold horrors. And now; New sanctions? A formal accusation in court? Disgust and resentment? Anyone who believes that the Russia can make peace with Ukraine and that the war may end is not sincere. “No one in Ukraine will make peace, the images take the war to a new dimension.”
“Those who do business with Russia are complicit”
Comment on the website of the television network n-tv focuses on the next day after the crimes in Bouka but also on what should be done from now on. Among other things, he notes: “Ukraine needs all the help that Germany and the EU can give. This is true today, but it was true five weeks ago. Yes, sanctions will make us poorer, they will have serious consequences. Many German and German politicians are responsible for the country’s great energy dependence on Russia and for the fact that an energy embargo is so expensive today. “But the failures of the past can not be an excuse today: After Bouka, it is more than ever the case that those who continue to do business with Russia are complicit.”
Germany’s mistakes
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung also focuses on Germany’s responsibility for the Ukrainian catastrophe and the Russian aggression, noting: “For a long time, Germany was unaware of the cost of external security. She did it to feel richer than she really was. “But the mistake in calculating it is now becoming clear with the war in Ukraine.” “Effective sanctions are one of the few tools available to reduce Moscow’s ability to prolong the war and engage in future wars,” he said. “Otherwise, the financial cost of Germany’s external security will be much higher in the future.”
Finally, the Berlin-based Taggespiegel comments: “Russia is making its moves, the international community is making its own. Cool, with calculations, logically. But this is not a chess game. The images from Bouka show the following: that a war between armies has turned into a massacre of civilians, into barbarism. There are no rules, only a war in which the Kremlin loses control (…) A full embargo will not prevent future crimes, will not force Putin to step down, and its consequences could also have a serious impact on Germany: mass unemployment, rising prices, financial crisis, whatever one can imagine. The German government should not take this step lightly. However, he must do it now. “
