German chancellor Olaf Scholz did not follow the American president Joe Biden to call the Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s “military criminal”, but called “special operation” of the Russian Federation in Ukraine “Crime”.
“We are all united that this war violates all the rules. She is a crime. This is a war of Putin,” said Scholz in an interview with Zeit, answering a question if he, like Biden, that Putin is ” war criminal, “writes RIA Novosti.
In an interview, Scholz also announced his readiness for new sanctions against Russia, but again stated that Germany could not instantly abandon the import of Russian energy carriers.
To the question, whether new sanctions are possible in the event of the use of kimoruya in Ukraine, Scholz said that he discussed this question in a telephone conversation with Putin. “I am in a direct conversation with President Putin warned him from using biological or chemical weapons. Russian statements that Ukraine has developed a chemical and biological weapon or that the United States wanted to apply such weapons in Ukraine, which is not true, seemed to me a hidden threat, That Putin is thinking about the use of such weapons. Therefore, it was important for him to clearly and directly say: it would be unacceptable and unforgivable. No one should even think about it (the use of chemical or biological weapons), “said German Chancellor.
