Scholz says he is ready to talk to Putin about peace in Ukraine

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says he is ready to talk to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Their conversation will focus on peace in Ukraine.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to FAZ.

In particular, Scholz stated the need to support diplomatic talks with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. According to him, Germany will continue to intensively support Ukraine in its defense campaign against Russia. However, he also wants to do everything in his power to ensure that the war ends as soon as possible.

He recalled the numerous casualties on the Ukrainian side and that at the same time countless Russian soldiers are “victims of the imperialist madness of the Russian president.” Scholz believes that another peace conference should be held with the participation of Russia.

“There must be another conference in which Russia will also participate - but never over the head of Ukraine and only in coordination with our closest partners,” Scholz said.

He also stated that Russia's attack on Ukraine is still the main threat to Europe.

“We support Ukraine and will continue to do so for as long as it takes,” Scholz said.
