There is no alternative to Ukraine's victory - German MEP

MEP Viola von Cramon-Taubadel (Vitalii Nosach, RBC-Ukraine)

The victory of Ukraine in the war against Russia is non-negotiable. If Ukraine suffers defeat, it will serve as a signal to other dictators, according to Viola von Cramon-Taubadel, a Member of the European Parliament, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

"We do not have an alternative to the fact or to the request that Ukraine has to win, Ukraine has to succeed. It is in our genuine interest to make this happe," she said.

According to her, everyone understands the threat that Russia poses to us, not only to Ukraine, but if Ukraine fails, "this will be horrible and it will also be a signal to other autocrats and other dictators."

Viola von Cramon-Taubadel also expressed certainty that war is looming closer and "this is very obvious."

"I mean, we just got the numbers on the ratio of ammunition that is used by Russia at the moment with a tendency to even increase the number of shellings per day and we cannot even come close to that at the moment," said the MEP.
