“We have completely different opinions.. - announced it Olaf Scholz On December 10, during a meeting in his constituency in Potsdam, the DPA agency quotes. - However, I will continue to talk to him, because I want to wait for the moment when I can find a way out. And this is impossible if you do not speak“.
The Chancellor declared in Potsdam that “really depressingfor him in the negotiations is that the paths stick to their intention to conquer Ukrainian territory by force, despite huge losses on the Russian side. After all, 100,000 soldiers have already died on the Russian side.
“This is quite a lot when compared with other wars. Despite this, Putin’s attitude has not fundamentally changed. The Kremlin leader has already shown that he is capable in other wars in Chechnya or Syria. We saw what kind of cruelty the Russian president is capable of, said Scholz. “But negotiations with Putin have always been polite. Nobody screams on the other side of the phone“.
Scholz has spoken to Putin on the phone several times since the start of Russian aggression against Ukraine, at intervals of several weeks. The last conversation in early December was marked by mutual accusations. Scholz condemned Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Putin spoke aboutdestructive line of Western countries, including Germany”, which supported Kyiv with weapons and trained its soldiers.
Recall that, unlike Olaf Scholz, the Polish diplomat believes that every attempt to contact Putin strengthens him internally.
