About this, Olaf Scholz stated at a press conference on Thursday, February 13.
Scholz is advocating for this decision due to the events of the past day and the statements made by the government of the United States regarding Ukraine.
The introduction of a state of emergency will enable the government to incur more debt than what is allowed by existing restrictions.
Let us remind you that Scholz noted that Ukraine will not be able to join NATO in the near future.
Additionally, Scholz sharply criticized the proposal from U.S. leader Donald Trump, which suggested that Ukraine should supply rare earth metals in exchange for an extension of military aid.
