Overview
- Iryna Tybinka, speaking at a Lower Saxony security forum Thursday, warned that stopping Ukraine’s defense could push Russian attacks into other European states.
- She said Ukrainians are not superheroes yet keep fighting after more than 1,500 days because Russia aims to erase Ukraine’s statehood.
- Tybinka argued a Russian victory would bring lawlessness, cruelty, contempt for rights and freedoms, terror, and rule by force.
- Lower Saxony officials said hybrid threats such as disinformation and cyberattacks pose a real danger, with ports and counter-drone defenses named as priorities.
- State premier Olaf Lies thanked Tybinka and said Niedersachsen must stay capable, defense-ready, and perhaps also “war-capable,” a term that remains disputed inside the SPD.
