German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized that “Russian President Vladimir Putin has failed to achieve his strategic goals and he must not win his war in Ukraine and I am sure he will not”, pointing out that “we must convince Putin”. He will not be able to impose the desired peace, because Ukraine will not accept it.”

At a press conference, he pointed out that “the US will remain the dominant factor in the world and China a global player, and we are seeing the emergence of ambitious forces in Asia, Africa and Latin America that are all seizing the opportunities of globalization, and Russia is trying to consolidate its importance through military force, and therefore the dire consequences we are seeing today”, noting that “the task before us is to create a system that leads to the interaction of various forces for the benefit of all.”

Schultz said: “A decisive and clear response to the egregious violations committed by Russia is very important, and the war in Ukraine may be far from some countries, but the coming famine is not far from them, and we have decided in Germany to strengthen relations with the Indo-Pacific regions” , adding that “our priority is to promote international cooperation and work within the framework of international pluralism.
