Nico Lange wrote that Germany's strategy towards Ukraine has so far consisted of keeping the Americans happy and hoping that they would eventually turn against Putin. This strategy has failed. Europe must consider how to push Putin towards a ceasefire. https://t.co/4D1F2Roozz #Ukraine #Putin #Europa (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that during Witkoff's visit to Putin, not much concrete came out regarding the Ukraine issue, while the topic of diesel took up a lot of space. Witkoff hopes that Russia will resume trilateral talks after a loosening of the diesel sanctions. At the same time, Lange noted that the surprising diesel deal has recently disrupted talks with Ukraine. #Ukraine #Diesel #Putin (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that Witkoff tried to negotiate that day in Oslo, putting pressure on Ukraine, energy incentives for Russia, and the assumption that suddenly available diesel could help with the Midterms. Trump and his staff did not understand Russia, Ukraine, or Europe, Lange stated. #Ukraine #Russland #Europa (translated)

Nico Lange demanded that Europe must quickly establish satellites that detect every Russian rocket launch, as well as its own satellite constellation to replace Starlink in connectivity. The money should be used for this instead of increasing dependence on the USA, he wrote. #Satelliten #EuropäischeUnion #Technologie (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that demands not to provide further funds for Ukraine and to use the money instead in one's own country would ultimately lead to more war, casualties, refugees, destruction, and economic damage, as well as significantly higher costs in his assessment. #Ukraine #Krieg #Wirtschaft (translated)

Nico Lange wrote about the trial beginning today regarding Nord Stream, stating that Russia reduced gas deliveries through Nord Stream 1 in 2022 and completely halted them on August 31 – even before the attack. Nord Stream 2 was never certified and was never operational. The indictment for damaging a supposedly illegitimate military target raises fundamental questions about whether Nord Stream was a geopolitical or economic project, Lange wrote. The trial also demands a critical examination of the federal government's Nord Stream and Russia policies at least since 2014; this must be discussed. #NordStream #Russland #Energiepolitik (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that Europe is once again in a situation of acute difficulty because Trump is working against its interests while remaining heavily dependent on him. Moreover, he believes that Europe is investing too little of its defense budget to become more independently capable of action. #Europa #Verteidigung #Politik (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that Donald Trump has created his own problem with the entrenched war against Iran and is now trying to shift it onto the attacked Ukraine, which he portrays as allegedly weak. According to Lange, this reveals both Trump's character and the character of those in this country who celebrated this approach. #Trump #Ukraine #Politik (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that the 300,000 tons of diesel from Russia announced by Trump correspond to about 0.26 percent of global monthly consumption. It is still unclear whether the amount will be delivered additionally or will replace other Russian trade flows. No impact on diesel prices is expected. #Dieselpreise #Trump #Russland (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that for decades the argument has repeatedly been made that the problems lie in the fact that no one talks to Putin. Conversations are confused with the willingness to fulfill Putin's demands. There have been many talks, channels, and contacts, and they continue to exist; however, Putin does not want to make compromises, Lange said. #Putin #Politik #Gespräche (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that the ongoing debate about access to Putin is nonsensical: All governments have his contact information, and he is spoken to officially and unofficially at various levels. The problem, rather, is that, in Lange's view, Putin is fixated on the subjugation of Ukraine and wants to continue the war. #Putin #Ukraine #Krieg (translated)

Nico Lange criticized a proposal by AfD and BSW in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt regarding peace talks. He wrote that Russia had attacked Ukraine and should not be rewarded for it. Ukraine has been ready for an unconditional and comprehensive ceasefire since March 2025, but Russia has not been so far. Therefore, pressure must be exerted on Moscow, Lange said. Arms deliveries do not necessarily extend the war, he argued. Germany is supplying air defense systems and ammunition that protect people and infrastructure. Ending support could weaken Ukraine's defense and make further waves of migration to Germany more likely. Lange also considered a complete lifting of sanctions against Russia before negotiations to be diplomatically unprofessional. The federal government supports a negotiated end to the war; it is crucial to move Russia towards a sustainable ceasefire and serious talks, he wrote. #Frieden #UkrainischerKonflikt #Diplomatie (translated)

Nico Lange described it as shameful for Germany that former Chancellor Schröder held a public spectacle in Moscow. At the same time, he wrote that Russia had killed 33 peaceful people in Kramatorsk and 20 people in Pryluky, including five children. https://t.co/oWlrp8A1sW #Deutschland #Russland #Frieden (translated)

Nico Lange wrote that Vladimir Putin has not achieved any successes on the front for a long time and has only caused Russian casualties there. Instead, he relies on terror against the civilian population as well as a "normalization" of relations with the USA and on Europe's weakness, whose leadership Lange described as indecisive, self-absorbed, and paralyzed by internal debates. #Putin #Ukraine #Terrorismus (translated)
