The Russian president must withdraw troops from Ukrainian territory.
German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he is ready to talk again with Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, this only makes sense if Putin takes steps to resolve the military conflict in Ukraine.
The German Chancellor made this statement during a meeting with citizens in Brandenburg, reports Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
Scholz called on the head of the Kremlin to take the first step towards a possible peaceful resolution of the situation in Ukraine. “He must withdraw his troops,” the chancellor said.
This was his answer to the question of whether there could be peace negotiations on Ukraine. However, Scholz added that Putin must not succeed in his goal of annexing parts of the neighboring country by force, and pressure on him must continue.
Olaf Scholz also assured Ukraine of assistance in defending against Russian attacks for as long as necessary.
Let us recall that earlier German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in his speech in the Bundestag, promised further supplies of weapons and financial support to Ukraine.
