Germany surprises Boris Johnson.

According to the British Prime Minister, he is impressed by Olaf Scholz's role in European support for Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Munich – As a good guest, Boris Johnson brought something back to Germany and thus especially to the government of Olaf Scholz: a portion of praise.

The British Prime Minister

showered the Federal Republic and the Chancellor with this in a

CNN interview on the sidelines of the G7 summit at Schloss Elmau.

Specifically, the party leader of the Tories emphasized Germany's support for Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Both the G7 hosts and France "had done an amazing amount considering where they were before the conflict began," Johnson said.

At the same time, he drew a link to the time before the invasion, when not only but especially Germany was considered an important European trading partner of Russia and thus of Vladimir Putin.

Key word: Nord Stream.

Key word: Druzhba pipeline.

Johnson praises Germany at G7 summit: amazed at "direct military contribution" in favor of Ukraine

That's why Johnson thinks, with a view to criticism from Ukraine that Germany is doing too little, it must also be considered how far the Chancellor has brought the country.

He also referred to the significantly larger defense spending.

Here Johnson alluded to the special fund of 100 billion euros that should benefit the Bundeswehr.

Johnson was particularly pleasantly surprised by this change in the long-standing EU partner, as he explained: "Never in my life would I have expected that Germany would make a direct military contribution to support another European country, as is the case now. "

Every viewer can decide for himself whether there is any criticism hidden in this sentence.

After all, Germany has been a NATO member since 1955 and would have to support its partners in the event of an alliance.

Some of which border on Russian territory with Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

Johnson wants to put Putin in his place: "Consequences for the world would be absolutely catastrophic"

Which is currently making these NATO countries a danger zone.

Because nobody outside the Kremlin knows when Putin's thirst for expansion will be satisfied.

It is therefore clear to Johnson that Russia must be put in its place immediately.

"If we let Putin get away with simply annexing and conquering large parts of a free, sovereign and independent state, which is what he intends to do... the consequences for the world will be absolutely catastrophic," he warns urgently.

The native of New York brought this message with him to the G7 meeting in the Bavarian Alps.

Where the heads of state and government of the leading industrial nations of the western world rack their brains over what the most promising answer to Putin's aggression might be.
