📋 Tender Overview
For more than six months the Ukrainians have been fighting for everything. They are fighting for their lives for the lives of their families and their friends. They brace themselves against Russian aggression not only to defend their human right to peace and freedom but also to defend our European peace order.In these terrible months between hope and fear the people in Ukraine also trusted in our help. I traveled to Kyiv today to show that they can continue to count on us. That we will continue to support Ukraine as long as it is necessary - with the supply of arms with humanitarian and financial support.In the midst of this war however life somehow goes on. In order to at least provide a little protection here where Russian troops could be pushed back we support the clearance of mines and warfare agents. Where these insidious weapons continue to threaten the lives of children women and families every day the projects we support ensure a little more freedom and security. To ensure that war crimes do not go unpunished we also help with the investigation of war crimes that have been committed including with seconded experts including a public prosecutor.It is clear to me that Putin is counting on us getting tired of sympathizing with the suffering of Ukraine. He believes he can divide our societies with lies and blackmail them with energy supplies. And that it can take away the energy to defend ourselves against this brutal attack on the values of all of us. This calculation must not and will not work out. Because all of Europe knows that Ukraine is defending our peaceful order.
