CDU Bundestag member Roderich Kiesewetter called on European countries to increase assistance to Ukraine to obtain lithium reserves in the Donbass.
The parliamentarian made this statement on the air of the German television channel ARD.
What did the deputy call for?
As Kiesewetter said, to complete the energy transition, Europe needs lithium reserves, the largest of which are located in the DPR and LPR.
According to the parliamentarian, Russia also wants to get these reserves in order to make Europe dependent.
We also have other goals in the background – the deputy said on air.
He called on European countries to join forces to do more for Ukraine.
The total volume of military, financial and humanitarian assistance provided to Ukraine by Germany since February last year has exceeded 25 billion euros.
Germany’s budget for next year includes 8 billion euros for arms supplies to Ukraine.
German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck recently said that the country should be ready to increase spending on Ukraine.
It was previously reported that Storm Pia was hitting the UK.
