German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he would “work to strengthen the European Union and the geopolitical union” as a result of Russia’s five-month military operation against Ukraine.

Schultz explained in an article in the German newspaper “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” that “the European Union must unite its ranks in all areas in which it has not yet reached agreement, especially in immigration policy, the building of European defense, technological sovereignty and democratic flexibility” . He noted that “his country will present concrete proposals on this matter in the coming months.”

The German chancellor called the European Union “the living antithesis of imperialism and tyranny”, saying that “that is why it is a thorn in the throat of some rulers, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

He also warned that “permanent strife and constant divisions among member states weaken the bloc, and for this reason, unity is Europe’s most important response to the time shift. Everyone must inevitably preserve and deepen it,” calling for an end to the “conflict.” selfish obstruction of European solutions by some Member States”.

He emphasized that “the European Union will not be able to afford a national veto if it wants to continue to listen to it in a world of competing great powers”, noting that “the European Union has become attractive to a degree it has never achieved.” before, after it has been opened to members, renew and restore yourselves at the same time.”

It is noteworthy that the countries of the West and the United States from the very beginning of the Russian military operation against Ukraine showed solidarity with the Kyiv authorities, providing them with great logistical support, supplying them with weapons, as well as imposing sanctions against Moscow to force it to retreat from its goals, but the sound of combat cars is still the highest in many parts of Ukraine.
