77 years ago to day saw the end of the 2nd world war in europe, when the weapons fell silent on the 8th of may 1945. it was like the hush of a cemetery. descending on the graves of more than 60000000 women, men and children, often flock. millions of them fell on the battlefield. millions were murdered in their towns and villages in concentration camps were extermination camps. and it was germans who perpetrated these crimes against humanity on roof. that's helped us with too. it is all the more painful to witness how to day a 77 years after the end of the 2nd world war. barbaric violence is once again, making a mockery of justice at the heart of europe to witness russia's army murdering men . women and children in ukraine, the producing cities to rubble and even attacking people as they flee. this violence is for me my, this is an 8th of may like,

no other than that. me try and this is why i am addressing you today. you couldn't the was and that we cannot commemorate the end of the 2nd world war in europe have without confronting the reality that war is raging in europe once again. and russia has unleashed this war. i know there was a time when russians i'm ukrainians fought side by side and paying the heaviest price to defeat this. germany's murderous nazi regime muslim fell at that time. germany became guilty of crimes committed against both the russian and the ukrainian nations. we, for decades now, we have been striving for reconciliation with both nations as was one. but now russia's president brought an seeks to subjugate ukraine, to destroy its culture. and its identity will do that's done. and bob, bob president who didn't likens is barbaric and more of aggression to that battle against the nazi stacy, this is a falsification of history and is infamy. we have

a duty to spell this out in no uncertain terms, but plumber to sniff guitar, but our duty doesn't stop there. emily taylor for it was the military victory of the allies that put an end to the national socialist dictatorship and germany. the obliged to this day we germans are grateful for the content of the and that is why the president of the federal republic of germany at the time we had fun vita of said up in 1985 speaking of the 8th of may as a day of liberation with multiply, we have learned a crucial lesson blessone from the disastrous history of our country between 19331945. it is never again, never again war of who never again, genocide to the never again, tyranny on daughter. and yet it has happened again war in europe at the occlusal ukrainian president zalinski referred to it today in the given. but

in the current situation with this can only mean defending justice and liberty. you'll do on the side of those under tag. we support ukraine in the battle against the aggressor copy to not to do so, would be tantamount to capitulating to drifted unbridled violence and would only embolden the aggressor. and thus, we are helping to bring the violence to an end for young. and that is why we have taken some tough, far reaching decisions in recent days and weeks and taken them quickly and resolutely, deliberately and after careful consideration. we have imposed unprecedented sanctions on the russian economy and on the russian leadership to deter potent from continuing to wage this war. and of course, we have welcomed with open arms. hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children from ukraine, hundreds of thousands who have found refuge year after fleeing the violence in their homeland. with lucon relief,

organizations are providing initial support. schools and day care centers are setting up dedicated classes for these children, and ordinary citizens are taking refugees into their homes. and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this willingness to help all over our country, the gift to the land. for the 1st time, ever in the history of the federal republic of germany, we have sent weapons into a war zone. and on a large scale and even heavy weaponry, always after careful consideration, become a good portion of vizier these and we will continue to do so. i can well imagine how upsetting these decisions are for many of you. at the end of the day, it is literally a question of war and pay for it is about in modern our historical responsibility about the greatest possible solidarity with ukraine under attack about the security of our own country and of our alliance. balancing these goals is the challenge we face every day m, the flags like a park, but it is good and perfectly legitimate for us as

a country to debate issues of this magnitude with one another and to do so in depth, comfortable after all, part of democracy is engaging in such controversies with respect and mutual esteem, that is one of the, the what the german president rightly pointed this out in his speech this morning or feeling awful. if he's up in recent days, cuz all i've heard people expressing serious concern himself by where he's at the war, good spread deposited peace here in our own country could come under threats. and it would be mistaken to dismiss these concerns out of hand. but there must be space to express such concerns. on the, at the same time, we must not allow ourselves to become paralyzed. i fear both were put on by 5 out of your line. tell you what we are doing to defend justice and libertine ukraine. and in europe as a whole, and it's a great deal, a list of the i lot. but at the same time, we are not simply complying with every demand made of us address one fall. when i swore my oath of office, i promised to avert harm from the people in germany and with her bad includes

protecting our country and our allies from danger. once before and from this we derived 4 clear principles that guide our policies, kind of dorky. firstly, no of the german unilateral actions, whatever we do, we coordinate as closely as possible with our allies, both within europe and across the atlantic. but secondly, with whom in everything we do, we strive to ensure we are preserving our own defense capabilities in wellness. and we have resolved to significantly better equipped the german armed forces. the bond is there so that they can defenders in the future as well as now of them. in the thirdly of them, we will do nothing that would do us in our partners more harm than it would do russia if and fourthly, if we will take no decision that would make nato a warring party and that is final. this is kind of both mcgiven got one of the lessons the 8th of may teachers, is that there must never again be another world war and certainly not one between nuclear powers,

but burger fellow citizens of germany or as i speak to you today. i cannot well yet tell you when and how russia's atrocious war against ukraine will end. but one thing is, for sure, there will be no peace dictated by russia, only thought the craniums would not accept that a. neither would we that rarely have we stood as united and determined with our friends and partners as we do to day. it is my firm conviction that include that putin will not win lose war and that ukraine will prevail, god, liberty, and security will triumph just as liberty and security triumphed over oppression, violence and dictatorship. 77 years ago, i'm to look for when making this happen to the best of our ability or is what never again means to day. that is the legacy of the 8th of may. german chancellor left salts and you're up to day here on d. w states shewn full willed stories, including
