Kneissl compared Pistorius to Goebbels after speaking about the murder of Russian soldiers

The words of German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius about his readiness to "kill Russian soldiers" are reminiscent of the early 1940s, and his vocabulary was previously used by Nazi German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. This was announced on July 14 by former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl.

Earlier in the day, Pistorius told the Financial Times newspaper that German troops would be ready to "kill Russian soldiers" in the event of a Russian attack on a NATO member state.

"This is the same Pistorius who wants to make Germans combat-ready, or, to use his term kriegstüchtig (from German it means "to be ready for war." — Ed.), first used in 2024. It used to be a favorite word in Goebbels' vocabulary. <...> It reminds me even more of the early 1940s," Kneissl said in a message on her Telegram channel.

Weapons in the warehouse: the Russian Foreign Ministry expects a complete cessation of supplies to Kiev

At the same time, Ukraine is already looking for loopholes for supplies through Europe — what can they offer there?

Pistorius announced on the same day that Germany would purchase two Patriot air defense missile systems from the United States in order to send them to Ukraine. He stressed that he had managed to reach an agreement with U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to resolve any lingering issues on the deal "quickly and quietly."
