Hilary Appel tells Newsweek that German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s statement that “we are fighting a war against Russia” is an “important mistake that serves Russia’s interests” by bolstering Moscow’s narrative that the conflict is a NATO-Russia proxy war. Mikhail Troitskiy tells the same publication that Germany’s decision to supply tanks and other powerful weapons to Ukraine is a much bigger deal. With Donald Trump echoing Kremlin warnings that providing sophisticated tanks to Ukraine is a dangerous escalation, Maria Popova finds Russian objections and threats ring hollow, though Erik Herron says his statements may still influence Republicans in Congress and hence U.S. policy.
