Die größte Bedrohung der Freiheit unseres Kontinents kommt aus Moskau. Die größte Gefahr für Europa ist Putins kriegerischer Imperialismus. Diese Fakten infrage zu stellen, ist nicht nur unsolidarisch, es wäre unverantwortlich.

Translated from German

The greatest threat to the freedom of our continent comes from Moscow. The greatest danger to Europe is Putin's warlike imperialism. Questioning these facts is not only unsolidary, it would be irresponsible.
