At a conference on Ukraine in Paris at the end of February 2024, French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. The announcement wasn't taken well across the Rhine. A few hours later, Germany's Olaf Scholz answered “Europe and NATO will not send any soldiers to Ukraine.” Macron's statement was "a red line for Germany”, which fears being passed off as “warmonger” in the eyes of Vladimir Putin, according to Dr Carolyn Moser, director of a research group at Heidelberg's Max Planck Institute of International Law and holder of the Alfred Grosser Chair at S...

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday Europe must step up help for Ukraine – but stuck to his refusal to send long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv. Scholz spoke after meeting British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Berlin, shortly after his counterpart announced the UK will increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP by the end of the decade. The two countries are Europe's biggest suppliers of military assistance to Ukraine as it counters Russia's full-scale invasion. Both vowed to keep that up "for as long as it takes". Ukraine's cause was boosted this week when the US Congr...

Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz has said he has no plans to decouple from China but demanded more progress towards better access for German companies in the world’s second-largest economy. Scholz is on a three-day visit to China to press his case for a more level economic playing field. The trip comes just days after he and France’s president Emmanuel Macron called for a “re-balancing” of trade relations with Europe. China’s president Xi Jinping said Germany should view and develop bilateral ties from a long-term and strategic perspective. “The significance of consolidating and developing Chi...

Germany's parliament passed a new law on Friday, easing legal procedures for changing names and gender identity. The 'Gender Identity Act' was widely supported by the ruling 'traffic light' coalition of Olaf Scholz, though debates were fiery and emotional. The final vote count was 374 in favour with 251 against. Before the new legislation - which comes into effect on 1 November - those applying to legally change gender needed the approval of two psychiatrists “sufficiently familiar with the particular problems of transsexualism.” A court would then decide if the legal change was allowed. Now, ...

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz warned of threats posed by right-wing populists Saturday as he addressed a gathering of centre-left European parties ahead of elections for the European Parliament in June. Scholz arrived in Romania's capital Bucharest for a conference of the Party of European Socialists, part of the Socialists and Democrats group, the second biggest in the Parliament. Voters in the 27 EU member states go to the polls 6-9. “Right-wing populists are running election campaigns against our united Europe,” the German leader said at the Palace of the Parliament, which hosted the confer...

Chancellor Olaf Scholz defended his refusal to send Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, telling German lawmakers on Wednesday that prudence is not a weakness while insisting that he trusts Kyiv. Germany has become the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the US, but Scholz has held out for months against Ukraine's desire for German Taurus missiles. They have a range of up to 500 kilometres – meaning they could in theory be used against targets far into Russian territory. That position has frustrated the main centre-right opposition bloc and parts of Scholz's three...

After months of what appeared to be an effective stalemate, a new narrative of the Ukrainian conflict is setting in: unless the West both expands and speeds up its support for the Ukrainian military, Russia could soon have a major window of opportunity. And with the US House of Representatives still yet to clear a new package of American military aid, European NATO allies are moving to ramp up their contributions to the war effort. But not all of them are on the same page – and the continent's largest economy is suddenly looking like a major political and strategic problem for both Ukraine and...
