"Discussion was enough": Scholz urged not to put hopes for negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation

According to the German Chancellor, if Ukraine stops defense, it will cease to exist. German Chancellor Olaf Soltz stressed that it is not necessary to think that the reason for the continuation of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia is exclusively the absence of negotiations. In his view, the simple resolution of military conflicts between the two countries should not be expected. He reported this at a press conference.

German Chancellor stressed that there was no reason to believe that the cause of hostilities between Ukraine and Russia exclusively in the absence of diplomatic negotiations between Moscow and Kiev. "Undoubtedly, on the eve of February 24, 2022, the discussion was enough, only in the Minsk and Norman formats there were more than 200 meetings. The result we all know: a rude and illegal attack of Russia on all Ukraine," Scholt said.

According to Chancellor, Ukraine shows the highest desire for peace. However, as the German politician emphasizes, after two years of hostilities it is necessary to admit that there is no simple solution in this situation. "In any case, Putin can put an end to this war at any time," Solz emphasized. He stressed that the termination of defense from Ukraine would mean the cessation of its existence.

"Therefore, our joint signal of Russia should be: we will support Ukraine, which is fighting for its survival and preservation of sovereignty as much as it is needed," the chancellor said. The head of the German government emphasized the need to send a signal of confident support from Europe to Ukraine. It should be reminded that in the Bundestag on November 17 again did not support the supply of German missiles Taurus for the Armed Forces.
