THE TIME: Mr. Blasel, you’re the co-boss of the Green Youth, who historically occupies left positions. Nevertheless, they help larger protection spending, together with to help the Ukraine. Are weapons on the left now?

Jakob Blasel: For me, wars should not a authentic technique of political argument. I need Germany to by no means turn out to be a part of a conflict once more. And I typically need wars to be ended on the European continent. But Putin needs to take Ukraine in a brutal manner. He sees the Baltic states as a part of the historic Russia, which he needs to recreate. This is an assault on civilizational values. To assist others defend themselves in opposition to oppressors is an act of solidarity for me.
