"We stand with Ukraine as long as they need us [...] no matter what my German voters think, but I want to deliver to the people of Ukraine."

"We are facing now wintertime, when we will be challenged as democratic politicians. People will go in the street and say 'We cannot pay our energy prices'. And I will say 'Yes I know, so we help you with social measures.' But I don't want to say 'Ok then we stop the sanctions against Russia.' We will stand with Ukraine, and this means the sanctions will stay also in wintertime, even if it gets really tough for politicians."

– (Former) German Foreign Minister, now President of the UN General Assembly

"no matter what my German voters think"

This is how all the EU elites think about the European voters.
