The Chair of the European Parliament's Defense Committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, is urging the governments of Germany and other European Union countries to increase arms supplies to Ukraine.
According to ZDF, she also called on the West to take additional measures to enhance the effectiveness of the American F-16 fighter jets recently delivered to Ukraine.
"This is an important signal and effective support that F-16s are finally being delivered," said the politician.
Strack-Zimmermann emphasized that Europe must not give up.
"All states—not just Germany—must do everything possible to protect Ukraine and enable it to continue defending itself," she stated.
In her view, this includes supporting air defense units and supplying Taurus cruise missiles, regardless of the German Chancellery's opinion.
