FOCUS, Bild Zeitung:

According to "Bild" information, the German government has made it impossible for Ukraine to buy heavy weapons from German arms manufacturers by greatly reducing the offer in advance. The German Defense Ministry, acting on orders from the Chancellor's Office, has removed all heavy weapons from a so-called "industrial list" of German arms manufacturers, the Bild newspaper reported Wednesday from documents it has at its disposal.

The list, shortened from the original 48 to 24 pages and titled "Support Opportunities Industry - Consolidated," had been handed over to the Ukrainian government at the end of March. According to the newspaper, the original list in mid-March had still included heavy weapon systems such as the "Leopard-2" main battle tank, the "Marder" and "Puma" infantry fighting vehicles, and the "Boxer" and "Fuchs" armored personnel carriers. According to the report, the "Panzerhaubitze 2000" howitzer was also initially on the list.

It gets further reported that Germany plans to completely boycot Russian oil by the end of the year.



Finally it got reported earlier that Germany vetoed/prevented an EU decision to go wioth a gas embrago "lite", an idea that had been borught in by Italy, anothger major customer of Russian gas.



Germany is isolated.


Last, it got reported and speculated that Scholz got a call by Putin who directly threatened him with a nuclear war if German sells heavy arms to the Ukraine or stops preventing the eU frok boycotting gas immedoiaqtrely. Howeverk that report is , as I said, less a repott and more a "reasonably founded speculation". Somehow Scholz' behaviour must be explained.



If thsat is corretc that Putin theatrene Scholz with nulcera war "if", then there would have been only on possible answer: "Hey Vladdy, NATO has nukes too. If we burn, then you basterds will burn with us."
