Ammon News - German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Sunday reaffirmed Berlin's support for Ukraine "as long as necessary", warning that the conflict (with Russia) "could go on for years."

"Unfortunately, we have to assume that Ukraine will still need new heavy weapons from its friends next summer," DW cited Baerbock in an interwiew with Bild am Sonntag newspaper.

Baerbock also categorically rejected demands made by some politicians
in Germany for Berlin to approve the Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea pipeline to allow for more Russian gas deliveries.
