Scholz: Putin was defeated in Ukraine on all fronts
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was defeated in Ukraine and did not achieve his goals.
This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, t-online writes, Censor.NET reports.
"He wanted to subjugate the whole of Ukraine and establish a puppet regime, he wanted to prevent further rapprochement with the EU and weaken the entire NATO," the German Chancellor said.
However, according to Scholz, the Kremlin leader did not achieve his goals.
"And today: NATO has two new members - Sweden and Finland. All of them are investing massively in their defense capabilities, and almost all NATO countries have reached the two percent target. Ukraine is a consolidated nation and is on its way to joining the European Union. It has a strong army, equipped by us, which is heroically defending itself against Putin's troops," the politician said.
According to the German Chancellor, the task now is to create the foundations for a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine.
Scholz also said that during his phone conversation with Putin, he told him that Europe would continue to support Ukraine.
"I made it clear to him that he cannot hope that our support for Ukraine will weaken. Germany's military aid alone amounts to 28 billion euros," the politician said.
The chancellor noted that Germany is the second largest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States.
Scholz also said he was ready to call Putin again.
