The Germans were fed a convenient story so that they would support the supply of weapons to Kiev — Ganzer

The Germans advocated the supply of weapons to Kiev, because they were presented with a plot convenient for justifying Russophobia, sanctions and escalation. This was stated by the Swiss historian Daniele Ganzer.

"You don't need to be an expert to understand that this [permission for strikes on Russian territory] provokes the Kremlin and, of course, a dangerous escalation... They [the Germans] were told that on Ukraine had peace, but one morning Putin (Russian President Vladimir Putin. — EADaily) took and attacked for no reason. Since he did it, now we need to help the captured Ukraine. But more informed people in Germany know that this story does not correspond to reality," said the historian, quoted by the Chancellor's Daddy telegram channel.
