CDU politicians in view of Putin's nuclear threat for more deterrence
7.15 a.m .:
In view of the Russian nuclear weapons threats, the CDU foreign politician Roderich Kiesewetter considers increased deterrence on the part of Western countries to be necessary.
"Of course we have to take this seriously, and of course there is always such a risk," he told the Berlin "Tagesspiegel" with a view to Putin's threats to use "all available means" if necessary.
"But we can prevent this by increasing our own deterrence and countering Putin with strength and unity."
Kyiv is happy about Russian bankruptcy after annexation
6.30 a.m .:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj reacted with mockery to the Russian defeat in Lyman and the anger in Moscow.
The Ukrainian flag is now waving again where the Russians had previously held their "pseudo-referendums," the 44-year-old said in his daily video speech on Saturday.
At the same time he announced that fighting was still going on in Lyman.
"By the way, they already started biting each other there: they are looking for the culprits, accusing some generals of failure," Zelenskyy commented on the angry reactions from Moscow to the retreat in Lyman.
It is only the first warning shot for all those who took part in Putin's war.
Until they solve the problem with the one who "started this for Russia senseless war against Ukraine, you will be killed and scapegoated one by one".
Second air alert for Lambrecht in Odessa
6:00 a.m .:
Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht was woken up early Sunday morning by another air raid alarm in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa.
With other members of her delegation, the SPD politician had to seek shelter in the bunker of her hotel shortly before 1 a.m.
After about 20 minutes the all clear was given and the minister was able to return to her room.
Lambrecht told the German Press Agency that she was surprised by the alarm while she was sleeping.
For security reasons, she handed in her mobile phone before traveling to Ukraine to prevent them from being located.
Otherwise she would probably still have been awake and would have read on her mobile phone, the minister said.
At around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, Lambrecht had to go into a bunker for 45 minutes during a meeting with her Ukrainian counterpart Oleksiy Resnikov because of an air raid alarm.
Odessa is also regularly fired at by the Russian army with rockets and drones.
The minister had traveled to Ukraine for the first time since the beginning of the war.
