Original Note:
The foreign minister of Germany did not and has no constitutional power to “declare war.” See Arts 65a and 115 of the Basic Law. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_gg/englisch_gg.html#p0305 If a foreign minster’s use of the phrase “at war” was a declaration of war, Russia would have declared war on “the West” a long time ago. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-already-war-us-collective-west-lavrov-1770102?amp=1
