Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) believes that the war in Ukraine could drag on for several more years. No one could say whether this war could last five years, Scholz said on Friday evening in Chemnitz.
He defended Germany's military support for Ukraine. In addition, diplomacy should be cultivated. Since the beginning of the war, however, there has been no movement from Russian President Vladimir Putin. A dictated peace is unacceptable, emphasized Scholz: "He must not be allowed to get away with this."
Scholz was a guest on Friday evening at a discussion panel of the "Freie Presse" entitled "Germany under pressure. How can the traffic light coalition act under new conditions?". According to the information provided, the debate was followed by around 200 readers of the newspaper as well as other invited guests. The discussion was also livestreamed on the internet.
