Scorched earth tactics will not help Putin win the war against Ukraine – Scholz
In Germany, they are sure that Russia will be defeated in the war against Ukraine. The West will continue to support our country.
Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz said that Vladimir Putin will not be able to achieve his goals in Ukraine and in Europe, the West will provide Ukraine with military support.
Ukrinform writes about this.
According to him, Putin’s brutality in Ukraine, his use of energy and hunger as a weapon, an incredible jump in inflation – all this became a test for Europe and the world that had not been seen for a decade. Putin resorts to terror in Ukraine, uses irresponsible nuclear rhetoric.
«He is wrong, we will not allow us to be divided... Our country stands together, Europe stands together, in solidarity with each other and with Ukraine. Putin will not achieve his goals,» Scholz stressed.
The chancellor emphasized that currently Ukraine needs artillery and air defense equipment the most. He reminded that last week the first IRIS-T air defense system was handed over to Ukraine ahead of schedule.
«Deliberate attacks on civilians are a war crime, but this scorched-earth tactic will not help Putin win this war. Ukraine will successfully defend itself, and we will help it as much as necessary,» the chancellor emphasized.
