Maybrit Illner knocks out two quotes. One is from her, the other from her party colleague Rolf Mützenich. When the presenter throws quotes at a guest, she wants to catch her doing something. Usually. Katarina Barley, SPD politician and Vice-President of the EU Parliament, does not seem caught, but genuinely surprised. Until then, the show was titled “Putin’s New Terror Strategy – Destroy Ukraine, Split Europe?” also rather sluggish there.
