Germany sends a clear message to Putin

On Friday, German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, urged the Russian leader to withdraw his armed forces from Ukraine and negotiate a peace agreement with Kiev.

Vladimir Putin replied to his German counterpart that any agreement would have to take account of “new territorial realities”,referring to Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine. According to Moscow, the conversation was “frank and detailed”.

Olaf Scholz also used the telephone exchange to reaffirm “the EU's unwavering commitment to Ukraine”.Prior to the meeting, the Chancellor had also spoken to the Ukrainian President, expressing his desire to hear from the head of the Kremlin.

And the German Chancellor reiterated “Germany's determination to support Ukraine for as long as necessary in its defensive struggle against Russian aggression”.
