That's what he said, here in this video:
The NATO is not and will not be part in this war. And that will stay like that. We don't want the war between Russian and Ukraine to turn into a war between Russia and NATO. We agree on that with all of our allies. Which means: no participation of Germany in this war.
This is what our soldiers can count on. To be clear: as Germany's Federal Chancellor I will not send any soldiers: our soldiers can count on that.
That's the stance of us Europeans. Because Germany and Italy are totally united about this topic and many others more.
So I will just say to the elitist cabal of warmongers overseas: Abandon all hope, dear warmongers.
No war in Europe.
