German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has denounced fighter aid to Ukraine.
Chancellor Scholz said in an interview with the German newspaper Tagesspiegel on the 29th, “It is not okay to constantly compete to outperform each other over weapon systems.”
In particular, the possibility of fighter jet support for Ukraine was “not an issue at all,” he said.
Scholz’s remarks came amid accelerating Western military aid to Ukraine, including Germany’s recent decision to send a battalion-sized Leopard 2 tank.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Western countries to provide long-range missiles and fighter jets to counter Russian aggression.
