In his speech to the nation marking the end of WW II, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz explained why Germany needed to support Ukraine, APA reports citing TASS.

May 8, 1945, was the day Germany unconditionally surrendered, bringing the Second World War to an end, at least in Europe. Now war has once again returned to this continent.

After a few weeks of what seemed like dithering, Chancellor Scholz seems to have embraced the reality of this war. There is no choice, he said: Germany must do everything in its power to support Ukraine. That includes supplying heavy weapons.

"We will continue to do so," vowed Scholz in his TV address on Sunday evening. He made clear that German weapons deliveries will continue beyond the "Gepard" tanks and howitzers Germany promised to send to Ukraine.
