In a telephone conversation with Russian President Putin, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he had not noticed any change in Putin's stance on the war against Ukraine. The conversation was very detailed, the SPD politician said before his departure for the G20 meeting in Brazil.
"It was important to make it clear to the Russian president that he should not expect the support of Germany, Europe and many others in the world for Ukraine to decrease," the chancellor said.
He said that there will be no decisions taken without considering Ukraine. Scholz also noted that the exchange of views was planned a long time ago.
"That is why it is important that we are extremely clear on the matter of principle, that is, that Ukraine can count on our support and that the basic principle applies: no decision will be made without considering Ukraine," Scholz said.
He also added that it would not be good for the presidents of the USA and Russia to talk about the near future, without the head of the government of an important European country doing so.
Polish Prime Minister Tusk critical of the phone call
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk questioned the usefulness of talks with Russian President Putin. "No one will stop him with phone calls," the liberal-conservative politician wrote on the online platform "X", referring to the war in Ukraine. "The coming weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future," Tusk warned.
According to the Kremlin, Putin insisted during the talks that Ukraine must give up four of its southern and eastern regions, which Russia had annexed, in order to reach a deal. Kiev firmly rejects this./ DW
