There can be no negotiations on the war in Ukraine without Ukraine’s participation. Furthermore, EU countries must continue to support Ukraine against Russian aggression, states German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
“There is one principle that nearly everyone agrees on — nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. This must continue. Decisions cannot be made over Ukrainians’ heads. From my perspective, it must be absolutely clear that we discuss everything needed for the future from this standpoint,” Scholz said.
Additionally, Scholz emphasized the ongoing need to support Ukraine against Russian aggression, stating that “this is very important.”
“Ukraine was attacked. It chose to be a European state, a country aligned with the European Union and its values of democracy and the rule of law. I believe that if this terrible war has revealed anything, it’s that Ukraine is a European nation with a clear orientation toward Europe, the European Union, and the goals and values we share,” the chancellor stated.
