Putin should not succeed in Ukraine – Schz

This was stated by German Chancellor af Schz at the World Economic Forum in Davos, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Putin should not succeed in the war of aggression he has unleashed against Ukraine. And what is often overlooked is that he has not succeeded so far,” the chancellor said, backing up his words with examples.

In particular, as Schz pointed out, Putin wanted to divide Ukraine and the EU, but Ukraine is now a candidate for EU membership; Putin wanted NATO to be weak and divided, but the Alliance is united and has been joined by two new countries. Putin also wanted to install a pro-Russian puppet regime in Kyiv, but the Ukrainian nation is more stable than ever. And he wanted to subjugate Ukraine by military means, but the Ukrainian army is now much larger and stronger than before the war, equipped with Western weapons, the German Chancellor emphasized.

“All this is primarily the merit of courageous Ukrainians, but also the result of our support. This support is and remains the way to a true and just peace for Ukraine. To this end, we in Eure are coordinating our actions with the United States and, of course, with Ukraine. Because the Ukrainian pele themselves must have the last word,” Schz said.

He reiterated his view that it is important to act in a “balanced and predictable manner.”

“We need clarity and steadfastness. This is especially true when it comes to peace and security. We must do everything possible to preserve the fundamental principles of the international order. And the most fundamental principle is the inviability of borders,” the Chancellor emphasized, adding that this applies to everyone, everywhere and always, because anyone who questions this principle questions the international order, peace and prosperity around the world.

As reported, the 55th World Economic Forum is taking place in Davos, attended by 3,000 leaders of pitics, business and public inion. The President of Ukraine Vodymyr Zelensky will also speak at the forum.
