Dieter Bohlen called Ukraine's victory over Russia the worst-case scenario
Dieter Bohlen, a former member of the legendary duo Modern Talking, has stated that he fears a Ukrainian victory in the war against Russia because, in his opinion, it could lead to a global escalation and a world war.
He made these remarks during the Hopf & Kettner podcast, according to the Berliner Zeitung.
During the conversation, the musician criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s policy of supporting Ukraine and expressed concern over the country’s increased defense measures.
“Why do we need to build bunkers now? What are they up to? It scares me,” Bolen said.
According to him, he has spoken personally with Merz, who is convinced that Ukraine can win. At the same time, the musician himself considers this course of events dangerous.
“If Ukraine were to defeat Russia, a world war would break out,” Bolen said.
He also expressed the view that Russia, as a nuclear power, would not accept defeat without further escalation, and that Vladimir Putin would allegedly not leave such a scenario unanswered.
In addition, Bolen accused the German media of biased coverage of the war, stating that strikes on Russian and Ukrainian territory are portrayed differently in the media.

Prior to this, the occupying authorities in Crimea announced the introduction of a series of restrictions amid power outages and fuel shortages.
On the night of June 20, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out strikes on a number of Russian military facilities. Among the targets was a bridge near Henichesk, which the occupiers use to transport equipment and resupply their troops between occupied Crimea and the southern front.
