RUSSIA: Breakthrough in negotiations in the Ukraine war? Scholz calls Putin again STREAM In his first phone call with Vladimir Putin in almost two years, Chancellor Olaf Scholz called on the Russian president to end the war of aggression against Ukraine and to withdraw his troops. At the same time, the Chancellor urged Putin "to negotiate with Ukraine with the aim of a just and lasting peace," said government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit after the hour-long conversation. He also reaffirmed Germany's unwavering determination to support Ukraine in its defensive fight against Russian aggression for as long as necessary. Putin was willing to negotiate under certain conditions. According to the Kremlin, he insisted that a solution must take Moscow's security interests into account and "be based on the new territorial circumstances." Ukraine must also renounce NATO membership and recognize the loss of the territories occupied by Russia. Kiev and its Western allies categorically reject this. With the annexation of the Crimean peninsula in 2014 and in the course of the war of aggression from 2022, Russia has occupied around 20 percent of Ukraine, which it counts as part of its territory. #weltnachrichtensender #scholz #putin #russland #ukraine Subscribe to the WELT YouTube Channel / weltvideotv WELT DOKU Channel / weltdoku WELT Podcast Channel / weltpodcast WELT Netzreporter Channel / dienetzreporter The WELT news livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT Nachrichtensender on Instagram / welt.nachrichtensender WELT on Instagram / welt On our own behalf: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to accept any more comments.
