Points of attention

  • Sarah Wagenknecht thinks she knows how to stop Russia.
  • The politician criticizes aid to Ukraine and opposes the introduction of German soldiers into its territory for a peaceful settlement.
  • German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promises to send Ukraine additional aid of 3 billion euros through new borrowing.

Wagenknecht again criticizes aid to Ukraine

We should offer Russia an immediate halt to arms supplies if Russia agrees to a ceasefire on the current front line and the start of peace talks.

A German politician, often called “Putin’s girlfriend,” began cynically lying that the arms supply had not improved Ukraine’s position.

Sarah Wagenknecht is outraged by the fact that Vice Chancellor Robert Gabeke and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius have called for a further €3 billion in aid.

In addition, she opposed the introduction of German soldiers into Ukraine to ensure a peaceful settlement.

Ukraine needs security guarantees, but they must be provided by neutral states.

According to her, we are talking about Brazil, China, India and Turkey.

Why Scholz is blocking aid to Ukraine

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he rejects all accusations. He said he should take care of Germany, not just Ukraine.

The German leader added that he is ready to send Ukraine an additional 3 billion euros in aid, provided that the funds are obtained through "net new borrowing."

As Scholz noted, he will not support budget cuts for the sake of Ukraine.

This is the path that almost all the countries around us have taken. ... Some people think that we should finance this by cutting pensions, by cutting transfers to local governments, by investing less in roads and railways, by providing less support to the economy.

Future US President Donald Trump has officially confirmed that he intends to sign a record number of important executive orders immediately after he returns to the White House.

Points of attention

  • Mass deportation of illegal immigrants will be a key task for Trump.
  • The exact date and location of the start of the deportations are not currently disclosed.
  • Trump also plans to visit Los Angeles and assess the effects of the wildfires.

Trump announced fateful decisions

According to the future head of the White House, the key theme of his inaugural address will be "unity and strength, as well as the word 'justice.'"

Because you have to treat people fairly. You can't just say, "Oh, everything's going to be great." You know, we've been through hell for four years with these people. And so, you know, we have to do something about it.

In addition, the Republican made it clear that the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants would be a key task for him.

Despite this, he did not reveal the exact date or city where the deportations would begin, but stressed that they would begin in the near future.

It's going to start very early, it's going to happen very quickly. I can't say which cities because it's all evolving. And I don't think we want to say which city. You'll see it with your own eyes. We have to get the criminals out of our country.

Trump is going to California

According to the new president, he will visit Los Angeles next week to assess the effects of the massive wildfires.

I was going to go, actually, yesterday, but I thought it would be better if I went as president. I think it would be a little more appropriate.
