(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, NOV 28 - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
on Tuesday staunchly defended his government's record on
spending after a bombshell court ruling on crucial debt rules
sparked a budget crisis.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Tuesday that military and
financial support for Ukraine was of "existential importance" to
Europe, defending defence spending commitments as Berlin
confronts a domestic budget crisis. Germany has been one of the
Ukraine's biggest backers along with the United States, Scholz
said, supplying Kyiv with weapons to battle Russia's invading
forces. "We will continue with this support as long as it is
necessary," Scholz said in a speech to parliament. "This support
is of existential importance. For Ukraine... but also for us in
Europe. (ANSA-AFP).
