Putin blames Europe with a “politician escalation” for the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has blamed Europe that the war he ordered continues against Ukraine. Many countries had tried to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, he said on Thursday at a appearance at the political discussion club Waldai in Sochi. The European countries with their politics of constant escalation are responsible for the fact that this was not successful.
Most recently, US President Donald Trump had tried to negotiate a peaceful solution. After several months of negotiations, Trump was recently disappointed with Putin, who, according to his words, could have ended the war if he had wanted.
So far, Russia has shown no accommodation in the negotiations with Ukraine. Moscow remains with his maximum demands, which, in addition to a waiver of Kiev to NATO accession, also includes the waiver of Ukraine in its own areas.
Putin: Why does Germany want the strongest army in Europe?
Putin also announced reactions to the upgrading of the European countries. “We are pursuing the ever greater militaryization of Europe,” he said. “In Germany, for example, the German army should be the strongest in Europe. So well. We hear what is meant what is meant,” said Putin. “Nobody doubts that Russia’s steps, Russia are not long in coming.” He did not give details. (APA/dpa)
