According to the head of the defense committee of the Bundestag, Markus Faber, the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation is going better than expected, and this is a reason to talk about increasing the number of German Leopard 2 tanks for the Defense Forces.
“The Ukrainian offensive against the occupation forces near Kursk is going better than expected. This forces the aggressor to withdraw a significant number of troops from the front in the east. This eases tensions there.” Faber said.
Faber added that this is a reason to talk about providing more German Leopard 2 tanks for Ukrainian defenders.
In addition, the German official believes that the progress of the Ukrainians in the Kursk region demonstrates to the Russian population that “their dictator does not control anything”, and the military leadership is “overloaded” by this.
“A good basis for peaceful negotiations with Putin’s successor. And for negotiations with Putin before the International Criminal Court.”
Earlier, Faber said that he does not consider the probable use of German weapons in battles in the Kursk region of Russia to be a problem.
In addition, Faber considers the offensive of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region of Russia to be legitimate and such that it can lead the Kremlin to end the war against Ukraine
