"Ukraine should have the ability to deploy long-range missiles on Russian territory": Heusgen

- Christoph Heusgen, Chair of the Munich Security Conference, told DW in a wide-ranging sit-down interview in Washington during the Nato summit that Ukraine should have the ability to deploy long-range missiles on Russian territory to defend itself.
He told DW’s Washington Bureau Chief Ines Pohl: “As long as Ukraine strikes military targets as it is a victim of an aggression by Russia, it is, according to international law, absolutely legal [...] Not only on the border region. He should be able to defend his country every day.”
Regarding Putin's attack on the Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital in Ukraine just a day before the NATO summit Heusgen said: “I think that Putin is laughing about us, that we still refrain Zelensky from defending his country the way he should be."
When asked about the consequences about the debate about Biden's fitness he said: "The world looks at the US and to have this debate right now is not helpful. We need a strong US leadership. And right now we have this unfortunate discussion internally. I just hope that this discussion will soon be ended. So the sooner the question is resolved, the better.”
Asked about a possible second Trump presidency, he said: “I belong to those who refuse to speculate there. There is one thing which is clear from the from the time that President Trump was in office, and that is you cannot calculate what he does. So he can do one thing one day, another thing the other day. Now, to think what Trump will do, I think this is pure speculation. What we need to do is to concentrate on us.
On the Hungarian President Victor Orban, who met recently with President Vladimir Putin, Heusgen said: “Orban is a clown who runs around. And we let him do [so]. It is unacceptable that Hungary is one of the largest beneficiaries of the European Union, of the internal market, of all the funds also go there. And then on the other hand, from morning to night, he undercuts European unity.”

"long range" really means longer range short range missiles. Western politicians have been spineless for some decades now.
I totally agree.
Germany needs to ask itself how important is the rule of law? If it is ok with law breakers then it should stop complaining about crime. This problem of putin may seem distant to it but it very much will affect germany. If we want peace in the world putin must be stopped at all cost. If everyone pitches in proportionately russia will be stopped and will no longer be a threat.
You're delusional. You're not gonna get "everyone" to "pitch in" when millions are already beginning to see through the BS and understand the game that America's neocons are playing with Russia.
Russia has no interest in Germany or even western Ukraine. Ukraine could have reached a compromise regarding Donbass and NATO membership in March/April 2022 and we could have had peace already.
I like your enthusiasm. You sound like a man of your word. So When are you signing up with the Ukrainian Army?
America is a big problem in the world.....Russia is not even a problem when America is not there
In German war in there blood
Since 2014 has laughing 😂😂😂
No i?
This is a recipe for another disaster!
U must be so blind not seeing the decades long Russian annexations as the EU regional disaster. If Russia succeeds in Ukraine then the Russian annexations will extend until your own doorstep.
@BobbMac I'm sorry to say that you must be biased of US narratives. You know we are all different, but what we all have common is that we like to have our own spaces, which we consider secure. I would only say, just give everyone a proper space to live no matter who they are and where they are from. Then, you will see the world changing differently.
If I was the EU, I would not relie on Trump honoring the US committment to the Ukraine.
Correct. Trump means: lights out.
Trump can't be trusted on anything, that farce of Afghanistan pullout, he made a deal with the Taliban and circumvented the Afghan govt so when the US left, it was chaos.
Trump having soiled his pants, blamed Biden.
Good@@bramposthumus9300
Leadership cowardice has already cost hundreds of thousands of lives in this fracas. Continuing cowardice will achieve the same outcome.
cowardice is the reason you are not drafted. if only zelensky is slightly coward, Ukraine atleast will like belarus.
Just good common sense.

Nice interview, smart and very educated guest 👍 thank you
Blessings to you , sir Heusgen !!!
I totally agree Ukraine be free to defend against criminal putin!
Ukraina dan barat sudah kalah... Rusia berhasil membebaskan wilayah Ukraina seluas Italia.. 😂 😂
The best interview I’ve seen very honest Man Mr Heusgen 👍
I’m afraid Germany is still divided the old East block is still looking at Moscow and sees it as Paradise and the big solution😢
@@bullerfnis1961 I don’t blame them
Russia: If fetal alcohol syndrome was a country..
if 90s weed get you high then you must find it in west
I think u r very Inteligent human species member -- Now Do u Know exactly Why "" SOVIET PEOPLE "" Firing at each other in place called Ukraine ( Ukraine a Buetiful country ..nice people ...Same..like around 🌎. )
It's all about One military club membership related issue ..is that true ? --
Actually it's Decades Old America & Russia Rivalry ...competition , nothing else.
This is the Very First time America & Russia in history ever ...Very Near to DIRECT WAR....Chance of Firing each other directly , openly. ....Atleast SCRATCHING ? ..no chance.
Really unfortunate people of Ukraine suffering.
They should know -- War a very profitable buissiness.....to MANY...including internet related industry to weapon industry.
Many more ...
😂
Then what would Brazil be?
Germany: If Turkey came and took it over... Wait they did Germany has become a Turkic state all you have to do is open your eyes and walk around Berlin hahaha
International law? what a hypocrytical joke statement...
You don't believe in international recognised ways of behaving against your neigbours no?
Indeed. Russia has been wiping its a$$ with international law for decades.
@@Steelninja77 yeah. When you base your actions on rules-based order against a country you don't like but defy the same rules-based order for the country you do like (and which commits far worse atrocities) that's called hypocrisy
Rules based orders 🙃🤔🤡🤡🤡
International "customised" law, you can customise it depends on where or who breaks this law
Sir Heusgen. Thank you for stating common sense,, 💖🙏💖
This person is very good 100% support.
Whose Laws? Allied to who? Which court has heard this Law?
Do not be a sheep.

War mongers 😢😢😢
What use of long range missile?putin already president of ukraine,biden approved it.
Yup long range between EU and the US, smart move
Putin is not laughing. If he had it to do all over, he would say no freaking way.
Maybe he would do it sooner.. like 2014.. maybe he would wait for ukr and co to make the first move. Let's not kid ourselves.... putin did not have a choice.
@@RC-tv7hi 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ "let's not kid ourselves"... Right after saying that Ukraine would make "the first move".
@@RC-tv7hisomeone lacks intelligence 🤔
@sergeybebenin Russia invaded Ukraine... noone is pretending otherwise.
@@RC-tv7hi you made up a bunch of silly jokes and then followed by "let's not kid ourselves"
That can be in future problem.
Germany going for 0-3 in world wars?
When will they learn ? Always on the wrong side.
You're absolutely right, Mr. Heusgen!
Delusional and unhinged people tend to agree each other
I agree in all points.
A children's hospital 💔 please stop the war .the world needs peace
@@dairy1994 white children hospital makes you tear ,non western world has watched this evil act by western countries on the name of democracy and moral values
@@dairy1994 look this war is blunder, everyone has got backlashed , west could end russian eco , Russia miscalculated war too .
Global south neutrality saved UKraine from getting nuked
I gave you a like even tho we are likely on opposite sides. All missiles can be proven with pieces collected at the location.... do you know the official results yet? Most cases take minutes to solve. Why not this one? Let's agree to end this by telling the truth and accepting simple facts..... nato gotta go, and the lost territories have been through a terrible war.... they have the right to vote for their country and loyalties. War ends now if that is the offer..... putin dosen't get to decide how this ends, the Russian people do. Make them an offer they can't morally refuse.
Tell that to Russia. They won't listen till they are defeated.
@@Steelninja77 Exactly. You don't ask a fascist like Putin nicely if he will stop. You stop them.
"Orban is a clown" - LOL
He already stated that you will see a war like you have never seen before. This looks like an opportunity to see moreover what we have never seen before.
When old men don’t see reality on the ground its hurt a lot
Ooh now we have international law,😂😂😂
"Orban is a clown" lol
Let him bring his family to the world front. The world need peace not war. You are sitting in the comfort of your house with your family's and saying nonsense
Ukraine following "International Law" is what will lead to the fall of Ukraine
Reason is Illegitimate president” Zelensky “
Mr. Heusgen is very wise. I wish our leaders would listen when he says Ukraine has a right to defend itself using weaponry donations as they see fit.💜☮✝🌻💜☮✝🌻
How about hopital in Gasa?
Say it a gain
Being reported on every single day.
Christoph Heusgen ist ein sehr weiser und aufrichtiger Mann. Solche Politiker und Staatsmänner werden heutzutage gebraucht. Vielen Dank für dieses Interview. Grüße aus Polen!
What a classic clown show
Attacking the hospital is unacceptable.
Zelensky used these hospitals for military purposes
@@raymondcyq You are a very sick bot.
How many hospitals have been destroyed by israieles in last few months!!!! Double standard 🤮🤮
By Isreal?
threatening Russia's security is unacceptable too.
I thought Germany was primarily interested in the mineral deposits to be got in Ukraine 😕😕😕
“Following the advice of my Commander in Chief…”
War is over Biden said Putin is the president of Ukraine.😂😂😂
The bear is becoming a pig
these ppl, I tnk they must work up now
Ppl can't be fooled any more, world is changing
Very true insights
Forget Ukraine Russian never allowed to Ukraine NATO membership
Not up to you, or Russia. Up to Ukraine, a sovereign nation that has been violated. YOU don't want Pakistan to steal a chunk of India or vice versa. Same thing here.
Great interview
the longest the conflict, the better the profits - the US army industry
You support russian imperialism?
@@Mestari1Gaming LOL can you use your brain and follow the numbers!!! America is making soooo much money it DWARFS anything Russia is making from this war....
who invaded who? yes it is profits for weapons manufactures but this war was started by the Hiter over in Russia.
@@danielpena-un8vl is it so? Why where the Americans in Ukrain just before the Maidan protests? Where are the American borders?
Absolutely. Even Lloyd Austin even said that the war helps american companies creating jobs for their citizens! And the europeans "allies" clapped, 🤔🤔🤔🤔!
I'm even suspecting that the timing of the hospital bombing was done on purpose in order for NATO to get support from the public! It's just game. Same thing with the bombing of the Nordstrom pipeline.
Why hasn't international law come into effect in iraq war???
go ask your Mosk
If international law was not followed, there would be no Iraq today.
You people live to kill each other then blame others of your problems
"He who laughs first..laughs last"..
@@GabrielDiggs Read it again....and slow down.
I often see those who laugh first, did not get to have the last laugh 😅
@@ronaldphoong Very true.
Since COVID outbreak no body is normal again in the world...war and climate change has become the order of the day... Let love lead ❤
Bidens gaff is done
Double standard. GAZA
Its international law of hypocrisy 😂 the "democracy and human rights and international law" movie is over, we dont believe it anymore 😂
The free world is interested to know why questions are not being asked of Jake Sullivan and Donald Trump, in relation to their controversial positions on Ukraine? For example; If the USA were invaded and under constant missile attack by a powerful enemy, 1. Would Sullivan refuse to launch missiles at the enemy launch sites in fear of escalation? and 2. Would Trump be willing to hand over Alaska and the state of California as a trade-off for peace????
We’re a democracy. The voters will speak and we stand with Trump.
First off. If someone attacked America. They would get invaded like in a week. Or turned to glass by nukes. How do I know? Guess which country I'm from.
Look you people are making thing very bad for Ukrain, you know very well that Ukrain can't win this war until NATO get involved. Please have peace talk.
This guy is getting lots of 🤑
American arms business growing very fast 😇
Orban the clown :)))) Perfectly said! :)))
He is smart and absolutely right.... Than most of our leaders
Than most of our warmongers?
Have you ever been in a fight where your friend grabs your arm and tries to get you out of it while you're getting pummeled? That's what's going on.
Faith full poppy
Warmongering at its best
Shame on you and us
It will never happen.
I'm laughing at you guys, hahahah
Increasing spending on "defence" means buying more from military vendors.
Guess which country has the most merchant of death??
what law was applied for the invention of Kosovo, attack of Iraq or Afganistan? What law is applied in Palestine/Israel conflict?
There are different laws, eg. Hypocritical laws, law of interests, etc
"what law was applied" - the law of the jungle, for some reason western warmongers did not like taste of they own medicine.
The same law that prevents Russia from doing anything to NATO, we got the real military, you have bots and missiles that are only good at blowing up hospitals.
Classic RuSSian whataboutism argument. Responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of a defense against the original accusation.
The question is, do you support Russia's war of aggression? For whatever reason.
Only Annalenas accent is better - oh I forgot Goofy. (Stolti) 😂
Who invaded who?
Who are this people. Do they expect Russian to go down without taking NATO along?
LOL try it, comrade.
Nato only cares about wasting our tax dollars on war contractors and thieving others stuff.
Russia can't even take on the US alone. Let alone the US and a bunch of their gang buddies.
Lunatics
I don't see light at the end of the tunnel except train wreck very sad
Putin add Modi plus Putin add Orban plus Modi minus Xi plus Xi add Orban ..than the end of international laws
It will make matter worser
Mr Heusgen, I wish if you could say the same things related to Israel
An Excellent comment
Er hat absolut Recht. Ein Wohltat ihm zuzuhören. Danke für das Interview.
The pearl shortage is real. I fully understand that the civilized world does not want russias weapons, nuclear, chemical and biological etc to fall into the wrong hands again. What to do?
Is Israel abiding by the same international law? How many hospitals has the IDF destroyed? Double standards 😂
The missile was actually a ground to air defence missile that went astray. see Scott Ritter explain this in detail at "Dialogue works"
Air defense missiles do not have turbofans at the rear.
Ukraine wasn’t using yeh children hospital for military purposes. Hamas was using it for military purposes. Critical thinking skills would help
@@Guy22173 There are no evidence that Hamas was using hospitals as command centers.
@@sabinereynaudsf There's a video that clearly shows the Ukraine missile hitting the hospital. It was film by a Ukrainian.
He is exactly right about Hungary.
she can't communicate well
Is Germany and the rest of the NATO members providing long range missiles
but they have to be green.
Ukraine has been using US made ATACMS ballistic missiles for a few months now, they have destroyed many high value targets with these, they can reach up to 300 kms.
What about Palestinian territory???
War. What is it good for. Absolutely nothing. Say it again.
Funny, settle with Russia then ukraine joins NATO.......who is fooling who
You cannot settle with Russia. Impossible.
No agreement with Russia is worth the paper it's not printed on.
@@bramposthumus9300 you really want to go to war, do you?
Follow the money 🤑🤑🤑 laundering laundering 🤣🤣🤣
What logic this guy must be on some magic mushrooms 🍄🎯🤣🤣🤣🍄🍄🍄🤔
politicians are always happy for escalation until the oops moment.
Tell that to Putin.
What a laugh a minute guy!!!
Not only Putin laugh at you all, BRICS member all are laughing too..😅
Really? There's a lot of stuff you are clearly not aware of...
USA and Americans, like ME, could care less about brics. Let them have their club. So what. It doesn't affect me or USA in a single way. You jealous of USA? Sounds like you are.
Du siehst großartig aus, deutsche Dame.
Full nato membership is not the way we should not allowed Ukrainian be part of member, why did nato leader said no to Russia deal if Ukraine decided when want end this war , to me in lies
What are you saying they should not allow them bullsh!t every country as the right to apply
Trump will make Americans laugh at Europe 😂😂😂
I WANTED TO MEET ALL OF U HERE BUT IT'S COMING TO AN END!!!! NICE KNOWING U PEOPLE!!
People who think that a war has to follow a noble rule set are simply wrong.
This idea comes from people who are not capable of doing what’s necessary.
The children's hospital was hit by a US supplied Air Defense missile, that missed the Russian missiles. There is video of it, everyone can see it.
😂
Of course! And Russia never invaded Ukraine they were invited as they just forgot to leave again.
Maybe because of Russian thought they would be leaving again with flowers and they are disappointed… Some people are just beyond reach!
Nato until now really thought Russia will be scared of more weaponry to the spoiled brat😂😂😂
International law?Double standard
What about Palestine blind man😂😢
Do NATO respect International Law? Nonsense
Yoo is this the guy from TotA?!?!?!
💙💛
El Vlad just not laughing is waiting for you with is fingers on the RED bottom 😂😂😂
Orban is the ping pong ball between Trump and Putin.
What ORBAN is practicing is,CALLED DIPLOMACY,something QUITE FOREIGN TO ALL IN DC
No Ukraine is winning.
