Speaking to the German channel Erste, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz declared that Germany should be prepared for a long-term supply of weapons to Ukraine", while simultaneously expressing hope that the war will be put to an end soon.

According to Scholz, if supplies stop after "3 or 6 months, Germany will not be able to contribute to supporting Ukraine in the long term."

Back in February, Scholz said he believes that the West must prepare for a long war in Ukraine, which, according to him, serves the alleged "imperialistic" ambitions of Russia.

"It is not the weapons we are supplying that are prolonging the war. The opposite is true," he claimed, adding that the sooner Russian President Vladimir Putin realizes "that he will not achieve his imperialist goal, the greater the chances are of the war ending in the near future, and of Russia’s conquering troops withdrawing."

"I think it's wise to prepare for a long war," Scholz said in his speech.

Besides Germany's unwavering backing of Ukraine, the US comes in second to unconditional transfers of weaponry to Ukraine. Last week, the United States announced a $1.3 billion military package to Ukraine and vowed to make Russia pay for the damage caused in the country.
