"We are now in a very bad situation, because I think it’s a historic wrong [sic] decision, for it’s against the majority of the population in Germany. According to new polls, the majority in Germany is against sending battle tanks to Ukraine. The majority is in favor for more diplomacy, for a negotiated peace in Ukraine," Dagdelen, who is member of the Left party, told a German news outlet on Thursday.
“It’s the interest of an elite, of neocons in the United States, who are having the position that Europe is like Latin America for the United States in the '70s, and a continent where you can do what you please. And that's really a problem,” the German lawmaker noted.
“In the long term or in the medium term, they [the Leopard 2s] will not change anything on the ground in Ukraine, because Russia will react,” she stressed, calling for a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian conflict to avoid more “senseless killings.”
