For Russia, there is no other way to an agreement with Ukraine than one that can be accepted by Ukrainians, the German chancellor stressed.
If the war in Ukraine ends and peace is established on Russian terms, Western sanctions against the Russian Federation will not be lifted. This statement was made by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in a column for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, published on Sunday, July 17th.

“Part of the new reality is that in recent months the European Union has also consolidated. It has responded strongly to Russia’s aggression and imposed unprecedented harsh sanctions,” the head of the German government said.
According to him, the West knew from the beginning that restrictions may need to be kept in place for a long time.
“And we are also clear that none of these sanctions will be lifted in case there is a peace dictated by Russia. There is no other way for Russia to reach an agreement with Ukraine other than one that the Ukrainians can accept,” Scholz stressed. .
The German chancellor assured that the European Union would support Ukraine as much as it needed, and at the same time stressed that NATO would not be a party to the war unleashed by Russia.
Finally, Scholz urged Germans to prepare for the “difficult path” needed to stop Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “neo-colonial” course.
Recall that on July 15, the European Commission proposed a seventh package of sanctions against Russia, including an embargo on gold exports. The introduction of the new restrictions could be announced in early July 20.
