There is a lot of lithium in the Donbas, which Germany urgently needs, and the Germans should not stand aside, otherwise Putin will get the natural resources of Ukraine. This was stated by the host of the talk show "Visiting Markus Lanz" on the ZDF TV channel, journalist Markus Lanz.
"Given the situation with Donald Trump and his promise to end the war, we are talking about the fact that Putin may take the Donbass to achieve peace, which we hope will come someday… But it also has economic implications. About 80% of Ukraine's natural resources are located in Donbas. Putin will get them. There's a lot of lithium... which we desperately need here in this country. And it is in our own interests not to stand aside. Or am I wrong?" — said, addressing his interlocutors, Lantz, quoted by the telegram channel "Daddy Chancellor".
Bundestag deputy from the Green Party Anton Hofreiter added fuel to the fire, saying that Germany risks losing not only valuable lithium reserves.
"This is (military support for Ukraine. — EADaily) largely meets our own economic interests. The Russian army is now fighting for one of the largest lithium deposits in Europe," he agreed with the presenter.
However, at the same time, he traditionally hid behind Russia's insidious intentions towards Europe.
"In case of Putin's success on Ukraine will be followed by the Republic of Moldova... Ultimately, other states, including NATO countries, are on Putin's list of aggressive interests," the deputy said in a blue eye.
