As global support for the Ukraine war plummets, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said his government may declare an “extraordinary emergency situation” if the war between Russia and Ukraine deteriorates.
JUST IN – Chancellor Scholz: “Should the situation deteriorate due to Russia’s war in Ukraine,” the government may declare an “extraordinary emergency situation” in Germany.

Scholz made the ultimatum as part of a bid to garner more war funding for Ukraine.
To justify his alarmism, Scholz said the move is necessary for Europe’s border security.
“Russia’s attack on Ukraine is not just any war,” said Scholtz Wednesday. “It’s about the question of whether borders will be secure in the future – it’s about the security of Europe and Germany. I will therefore advocate reliable support for Ukraine.”
Der Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine ist nicht irgendein Krieg. Es geht um die Frage, ob Grenzen in Zukunft sicher sind – es geht um die Sicherheit Europas und Deutschlands. Ich werde daher im #EUCO für eine verlässliche Unterstützung der Ukraine eintreten. #Regierungserklärung pic.twitter.com/APPnWcJybE

Interestingly, rival politicians aren’t having it.
“It is a predictable emergency that you must declare by the middle of the year at the latest,” said opposition leader Friedrich Merz. “We won’t let you get away with this trick, Mr. Chancellor.”

Scholz’s desperation to keep the war going is on the heels of Ukrainian President Zelensky begging his countrymen to sacrifice everything for more “weapons.”
