Chancellor Olaf Scholz commented positively on the trip to Kyiv by the heads of government of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. It is currently about “using all conversation formats and maintaining them,” says Scholz. It is “good if different ways are tried to be helpful in this situation”.
The world community pursues a clear political strategy to help Ukraine says Scholz. It is right to keep talking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy – but “of course” also to Russian President Vladimir Putin to urge a ceasefire. “We’re all active in different ways, and that’s a good thing,” says Scholz.
