German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called on European allies to increase military aid to Ukraine in a speech at the Munich Security Conference. Scholz emphasized the political and financial cost of a Russian victory and urged "all EU capitals" to make similar decisions. European allies are blaming each other for failing to provide enough weapons to Ukraine, threatening continental unity. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy also spoke at the conference, warning that a full-scale Russian invasion would be catastrophic and accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of undermining the global order. Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron have signed long-term security deals with Ukraine, and Scholz announced a new package of air-defense and artillery systems worth €1.1 billion. Scholz also addressed former US President Donald Trump's comments about NATO, stating that any relativization of NATO's guarantee of assistance benefits those who want to weaken the alliance. Scholz reaffirmed Germany's commitment to spending at least 2% of GDP on its military and discussed proposals to develop future capabilities with France and the UK. [Extracted from the article]
