Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wants to seize not only Ukraine, but also Belarus, German broadcaster Deutsche Welle’s Russian service quoted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as saying on June 14.
“And the Russian president clearly wants to absorb some neighboring territories: he has such a plan for Ukraine, and, quite obviously, this is also his plan for Belarus,” he said.
That is why it is important to support Ukraine, Scholz stressed.
Russia’s war against Ukraine has become a turning point for the continent, as the European understanding that borders should not be moved via the use of force has been abolished with its beginning, Scholz believes.
“That’s why it’s so important that we have a very specific conversation about security guarantees,” the German politician said.
“And that’s why it is important to clearly state that we will support Ukraine as long as necessary, and that we won’t accept an imposed peace. Russia must withdraw its troops.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
