UKRAINE-KRIEG: "Ist genau das eingetroffen, was der Kreml immer befürchtet hat!" Was Putin nun plant
Summary
TLDRAfter more than a year and a half, Turkish President Erdogan has finally approved Sweden's NATO membership, a decision announced through official publication. This step requires Turkey to inform the U.S. State Department, but Sweden still awaits Hungary's consent to become a full NATO member. From Moscow, Christoph Wanner reports on Russia's reaction, highlighting the Kremlin's anticipated approval by Turkey in exchange for F-16 jets and upgrades. Despite Russia's longstanding opposition to NATO expansion, the inclusion of Sweden—and previously Finland—positions NATO at Russia's borders. This expansion triggers Russia's defensive measures, including military enhancements and the deployment of Iskander-M short-range missiles, underscoring the escalating tension and strategic shifts in the region.

Transcripts
mehr als anderthalb Jahre hat es
gedauert nun hat der türkische Präsident
Erdogan den NATO Beitritt Schwedens
abschließend gebilligt ein
entsprechendes Gesetz wurde im Amtsblatt
veröffentlicht im nächsten Schritt muss
die Türkei den aufnahmeregeln zufolge
das US Außenministerium
informieren ja Schweden fehlt aber
weiterhin die Zustimmung Ungarns um dann
tatsächlich NATO Mitglied werden zu
können die Einzelheiten die wollen wir
besprechen mit Christoph Wanner
zugeschaltet aus Moskau also die Türkei
hat nun grünes Licht gegeben Christ
alles deutet darauf hin dass Schweden
NATO Mitglied wird wie gehen denn die
Russen mit dieser Erweiterung
um ja den Kremmel war absolut klar dass
die Türkei am Ende des Tages Umfallen
wird und dass da die Zustimmung kommen
wird von Erdogan für den
natobeitritt Schweden Schwedens und er
hat ja da auch eine Gegenleistung
bekommen wie es hier heißt in Russland
nämlich die Zusage F6 16 zu bekommen und
auch einige
modernisierungspakete zu kriegen für
diese US Kampfjets jetzt steht noch die
Zusage der Ungarn aus aber das wird hier
auch als reine Formalität betrachtet und
das wird in absehbarer Zeit wohl auch
dann eintreten Russland ist kategorisch
gegen jegliche natoerweiterung
egal ob Ost oder nordererweiterung seit
jeher kann aber reichlich wenig dagegen
tun und man spricht hier im Prinzip
immer von einer
eindämmungsoperation die seit Jahren
läuft begonnen hat das ganze mit den
natoosterweiterungen ja bereits
1999 insgesamt sind fünf Runden gelaufen
fünf
nato-osterweiterungen dann die
nordererweiterung jetzt unlängst mit
Finnland jetzt kommt Schweden und de
facto steht natürlich die NATO an den
russischen Grenzen wenn man sich das
anschaut alleine zu Finnland ist die
Grenze zwischen Finnland und der
Russischen Föderation rund
1340 km lang es ist also genau das
eingetroffen was der Kremmel immer
vermeiden wollte und befürchtet hat
nämlich dass die NATO wirklich an den
Grenzen zu Russland steht und die
Konsequenz wird eben sein und das ist ja
auch überhaupt kein Geheimnis das wurde
auch immer wieder gesagt vom Kremmel und
von Dimitri mitwidw dem Putin Freund und
heutigen stellvertretenden Chef des
Sicherheits ist früher war er auch mal
Präsident der Russischen Föderation dass
man aufrüsten wird und es werden neue
wehrbezirke gegründet gerade auch an der
Grenze zu Finnland und dorthin wird dann
auch die iskanda m verlegt diese
gefürchtete russische Kurzstreckenrakete
die auch mit nuklearen Gefechtsköpfen
bestüttbar ist all das wird passieren
also es wird weiter aufgerüstet das ist
die Konsequenz des ganzen Russland
spricht wie ich das gesagt habe immer
wieder von dieser
eindämmungsoperation ist dagegen und das
ist wohl das wichtigste kann dagegen
auch überhaupt nichts
unternehmen
