RHEINMETALL CHIEF: Targeted by the Russians! "Putin increasingly desperate!" Kirby | WELT Exclusive
The communications director of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, commented on Thursday evening on a CNN report about alleged Russian plans to assassinate Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger. In an interview with WELT TV, which took place during the NATO summit in Washington, Kirby explained that he was aware of the report but could not discuss intelligence matters.
Kirby emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin has in the past blamed the supply of weapons and ammunition by German and American arms companies for the continuation of the war in Ukraine. He added that Putin had a severely eroded defense industry of his own and was trying to strengthen it. Putin had made it clear that the West's support for Ukraine, in particular the arms deliveries from Germany and the USA, would prolong the war. However, Kirby rejected this claim and emphasized that Putin had started the war and could end it at any time.
Kirby emphasized that Putin continues to threaten any action by the West aimed at providing Ukraine with the necessary support. Despite these threats, the US and Germany would continue to ensure that Ukraine received the necessary aid.
