The German TV program Logo! (a ZDF TV channel brand) recently published a video directed at teenagers in which missiles and a Leopard 2 tank discuss Taurus deliveries to Ukraine. A Taurus missile complains that Olaf Scholz doesn't want to give it away, while the other weapons tease the chancellor, saying he's "scholzing" as usual – wrinkling his nose and hesitating.
The video has been heavily criticized - for example, MP Sevim Dagdelen said it was vile propaganda that "amusingly" instills in children a readiness for war.
A representative of the TV program told Sputnik that its videos are aimed at youth and teenagers over the age of 13 and explain "current events from a humorous and satirical point of view." According to the representative, the videos discuss "a very relevant topic for teenagers."

"I think that the revelation was important to get out because it does put these countries on notice that if they want to continue this war and use Ukraine as a proxy, it's only going to affect their economies, their industries, their people. And it could have dire geopolitical consequences," he said.

Denying reality: Scholz claims Russia and Ukraine never had peace deal draft
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has denied that Moscow and Kiev agreed on a draft peace treaty in Turkiye in 2022, according to Sächsische Zeitung.
The German chancellor's statement sounds somewhat delusional, however, given that Johnson's sabotage of the accord was not announced in Moscow, but in Kiev and Washington.
The list of those who have confirmed the story includes members of the Ukrainian delegation Alexander Chaly and Davyd Arakhamia (head of President Volodymyr Zelensky's party faction in parliament), former presidential advisor Oleksiy Arestovich, and even US politician Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
It looks like “Russian propaganda” is everywhere these days – and its true name is "reality."

"It is said that a peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine was supposedly ready, but was allegedly prevented by either [former British Prime Minister] Boris Johnson or [US President] Joe Biden. Complete nonsense," he said.

EU Trots Out $1.6 Bln Scheme to Prop Up Continent’s Defense Industry
The EU’s executive branch, the European Commission, has laid out a plan to the tune of roughly €1.5 billion (US $1.6 billion) to boost defense production on the continent.
Money for the struggling defense-industrial sector would come out of the pockets of member states, with a shift away from procurement outside the European Union deemed unsustainable.
The proposed European Defence Industry Program (EDIP) would necessitate member states to allocate a minimum of 50 percent of their defense procurement budgets within the EU by 2030, increasing to 60 percent by 2035.
By 2030, countries would need to jointly procure at least 40 percent of defense equipment.
Scraping together the funds needed to continue aiding Ukraine without bulldozing the continental bloc's own defense capabilities has become an increasing challenge for the EU.
As Brussels outlined the details of the strategy, it trumpeted the need to "stimulate cooperation between the EU and Ukrainian defense industries," in spite of the fact that propping up the neo-Nazi regime was what contributed to the bloc's current predicament

📹 Former Pentagon senior security policy analyst Michael Maloof has said that Germany refused to supply Taurus missiles in Ukraine because of the need for a military presence.
Subscribe to @SputnikInt
"The Taurus, as I understand it, requires the presence of the military personnel from that country in order to operate it. It's a very sophisticated system. That's why the German chancellor said that he would rule out the export of such missiles, because it required the German military to operate it," he said.
