This translator should get medal ! I’m really impressed

[realspyfrog]

As an Swede and European I see no problem at all with a military stronger Germany. I rather have German troops than Russians. I hope my country also double our military spending. The actions for about eighty years ago can't govern Germany today. It isn't the same country and we can work with and trust this Germany. We also belived we could negotiate with Putin but we where wrong. As a thank he threathens my country and Finland

I’m from Russia and it’s so… good to know that there are big people who understand that our president ≠ our simple people. Thank you. And thank everyone, who doesn’t hate us because of our government’s actions.

Germany has spoken today for the hearts of all Europeans and all democracy-loving people of the world. I am so proud of their response. Not too violent, but not a pushover. Firmly against Putin, but not at all against Russians. Really great job Germany! Love and respect from Romania, as we all have democracy and peace in our hearts and wish for the best resolution.

For all Trump-Fans…. if you want to hear a speech of a real statesman and strong democratic leader, listen to this.
Thank you Germany. 👍

As a South Korean praying for Ukrainian people am very much touched by this inspiring German assembly for justice and compassion! Hope South Korea will do the same soon.

The love and the support from all over the world is beyond amazing but we need action not words. Thank you Germany I had tears in my eyes of happiness at this great news.

From Australia, a good move by Germany. About time they stop living in the past and exercise their commitment to freedom through strength.

As a Canadian son of German immigrants, I am so proud of Germany. I have always been proud of Germany but never more so until now with this incredibly powerful speech and a marked change in policies. You have finally broken with your past. Putin has woken us all up!!

[banaires]

I am Russian. Thank you for standing up for Ukraine, for democracy, for understanding that Putin is not Russia! For understanding how hard it is for decent Russians fight for freedom.

DW THANK YOU for streaming this meeting. As an American I feel we MUST do everything we can to save Ukraine and to bring an end to this madness!

[rockingyours]

I am proud of Germany as a America married to a German Man. I am here in Germany Now and feel pain that the German people are feeling. Thank you Germany for doing the right thing !

[reyalexandro]

One of the best speeches coming out of this war. And it came from Germany. Germany has woken up.

[richhagenchicago]

Thank you Germany, you will be key in bringing an end to this conflict. Putin will only negotiate a withdrawal on reasonable terms if his position is weakened. Germany's actions today, I believe represent a significant contribution to this.
