The EU must maintain a tough, clear and unified position to support Ukraine, believes the German Chancellor.
Russia has not achieved its goals in Ukraine, but it shows its readiness to further destroy the country, which means it is not worth hoping for an early end to the war. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this on Thursday, May 5, at a joint press conference with his Czech counterpart Petr Fiala, Ukrinform wrote.
“The use of troops and equipment demonstrated by Russia does not give hope that it will all end in the near future. Therefore, it is very important that we all insist that the guns be silenced, that the Russian Federation is withdraw its troops. And between Ukraine and Russia, a solution has been reached through negotiations, “Scholz said.
He recalled that Kyiv had asked some states to be guarantees of peace in the future and added that “this is also an issue that we are specifically talking about in Ukraine.”
Scholz noted that the Russian Federation intended to quickly cover the whole of Ukraine in a very short time.
“The great victory of the army and the people of Ukraine is that they have stopped the offensive,” he said.
Recall that today Scholz has promised to allocate an additional 125 million euros to support Ukraine.
Germany will provide Ukraine with seven Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers from Bundeswehr stocks.
