We will judge China by its actions, not by its statements, - Pistorius

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that China’s "peace plans" to end Russia’s war in Ukraine must be accompanied by appropriate actions.

He said this in an interview with Deutschlandfunk, Censor.NET reports with reference to "Euro Integration".

"The Chinese will not decide who will conduct the negotiations. I welcome the Chinese proposal, in particular as an initiative, but now there must be action. China is influencing Russia. When I hear reports - I don't know if this is true - that China is allegedly planning to supply Russia with drones -kamikaze at the same time as the presentation of the peace plan, I would suggest that we judge China by its actions, not by its statements. But, first of all, this is only a twelve-point document, and there should be more," Pistorius said.

The minister also noted that he has no information that China is going to supply Russia with weapons.

"If that's the case - I don't have any other information - it would be a depressing development that would certainly call into question the credibility of China. And it's unlikely to go along with a ceasefire proposal," he added. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3402334

Leopard tanks are provided to Ukraine for defense, not offense against Russia, - Spanish Defense Minister Robles

Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said that Leopard tanks are being transferred to Ukraine only for defense, not for offensive operations.

She said this in an interview with La Vanguardia, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to "European truth"

"There are several series of Leopard: 2A4 and 2A6. The 2A4 tanks, which were stored in Zaragoza in deplorable conditions, are now being repaired. This will allow us to include them in the battalion along with tanks donated by other countries. At the same time, we have already started training the crews of these tanks and the teams that will be engaged in their maintenance. I insist a lot that the Leopards have an exclusive purpose: defense, not aggression against Russia," Robles said.

She also ruled out the participation of the Spanish military in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.

"This is an absolutely impossible scenario; it does not exist. Spanish soldiers would intervene only in case of aggression against a NATO country. Never, never, not a single soldier from a NATO country, and Spain is one of them, will go to participate in the war in Ukraine. Never, never. I want to say this very clearly, very clearly," the Minister said. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3402353
