German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Strong defense of Ukraine has started, saying that the peace transaction to terminate the three -year Russian invasion cannot be imposed on KYIV.
“There will only be peace if Ukraine's sovereignty is provided,” he said on the second day of the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
“Therefore, the dictated peace will never find our support,” Sholz added in the rebuke of the United States President Donald Trump, who recently held discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine without the participation of Ukrainians.
The German leader who is confronted with difficult choices at home Next week, he said that Berlin would not adopt a “solution” to the prolonged conflict, which only leads to the “separation” of European and American security.
“Only one person would take advantage of this: President Putin,” he said.
His comments came when European leaders are trying to make sense of a difficult new line from the new US administration for the future of Ukraine.
Earlier this week Trump announced he had held Phone call with PutinDuring which the two leaders agreed to meet soon to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine.
The US President and his best security and diplomatic staff also hinted that in order to end the war, he must accept most demands of Russia – including Kiev to abandon his Crimean territory taken from Moscow and refuse his candidacy to joined the NATO Alliance.
Subsequently, Trump assured Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski that he would also have a place on the peace talk table.
Armed Forces of Europe
Zelenski said on Saturday that it would be “dangerous” if Trump meets Putin before he meets him, and that Ukraine will never accept peaceful deals reached behind or without Kiev's participation in a striking message to The President of the United States while seeking to end the President War with Russia.
Zelenski also said he would agree to meet Putin personally after negotiating a common plan with Trump. “A few days ago, President Trump told me about his conversation with Putin. Not once did I mention that America needs Europe on the table. That says a lot. “
On Saturday, Scholz said that in order to ensure that Russia would not attack again if peace was reached, Kiev's supporters were “first” to build the armed forces of Ukraine in the future.
“In post -war times there will be responsibility for Europe and for the US and for the international partners and friends of Ukraine to make it happen,” he said.
Increasing its desire for a more muscular and powerful Europe, Zelenski said that Ukraine's three-year struggle against an invading Russian army turned out to be the basis for the creation of a European army, which had long been discussed among some continental leaders.
“I really believe the time has come. The Armed Forces of Europe must be created, “Zelenski said.
“Without cooperation” with the far right
In the meantime, Scholz rejected foreign intervention in the German elections after US Vice President JD Vance attacks how governments in Europe seek to counteract offers for political influence from far -right groups such as Germany Alternative to Germany AFD.
Germany “will not accept outsiders who interfere with our democracy in our elections. This is not appropriate – especially not among friends and allies, “he said after a criticism of Vance.
“We are absolutely clear that extreme law should remain outside the process of political decisions and there will be no cooperation with them,” Scholz told reporters later.
“Never again fascism, never again racism, never again an aggressive war. That is why the prevailing majority in Bulgaria opposes anyone who glorifies or justifies criminal nationalism, “Scholz said, citing the ideology of the Nazi Adolf Hitler regime from 1933-45.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Baro also defended European policies after Vance's speech.
“Freedom of expression is guaranteed in Europe,” Baro said X after Vance claims to be “in retreat.” “No one is obliged to accept our model, but no one can impose us.”
On Friday, Vance began a wide end against Europe and Germany, more special, accusing both of the freedom of speech, excluding parties that expressed strong concerns about immigration, including Extreme AFDS Vance later with AFD leader Alice Wedel.
Currently, the Social Democrats in the center of Scholz are currently third in the ballot box about 15 percent before the vote next week, after the expected second place in AFD at 20 percent and the conservative CDU/CSU Bloc at about 30 percent.
