“The US is clearly trying to give a signal, to Europe mainly but also other countries, to prop up military support for Ukraine. The US is trying to build this broad coalition of more than 40 countries which goes beyond NATO to include countries from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. They have been invited here to build this broad coalition, not only for immediate military support for Ukraine, which the US says is really needed, but for long-term military assistance to give Ukraine the security guarantees the US says it needs in the future. It is also significant that this meeting is [being held] in Germany, because Germany has been criticised for not doing enough. Until a few days ago, it was very reluctant to send heavy weapons to Ukraine, but just on the eve of this meeting the government decided to send tanks after all.”
