After Vance’s blistering speech on Friday in which he vented at European leaders, telling them that the biggest threat to their security was „from within“, rather than Russia or China – all eyes were on Scholz‘ and Zelenskyy’s answer to that.<\/p>\n
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz rejected working with the far right and predicted that a new government would create an exemption for spending on defence and security when dealing with the nation’s constitutional limit on public debt, the so called debt brake.<\/p>\n
Ukraine\u2019s president Zelenskyy has warned the days of guaranteed US support for Europe are over, as he urged the continent to band together to create a united army and foreign policy. „Here in Munich, the US vice president made it clear \u2013 decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending. From now on, things will be different, and Europe needs to adjust to that,“ Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n
