A joint press conference between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin took place today.
In the context of Ukraine, the following theses were voiced:
1. Scholz stated that the President of Ukraine was firmly in favor of submitting to the tripartite contact group bills amending the Constitution of Ukraine aimed at ensuring the legal status of eastern Ukraine and holding elections.
2. Putin did not deny the possibility of war. He reiterated Russia's concerns about NATO enlargement and called for a return to NATO of 1997.
3. Putin stated that Ukraine's accession to NATO will inadmissible and demanded clear legal guarantees.
Impressions from the press conference:
1. Scholz is ready to give Ukraine to Putin in exchange for European security.
2. Ukraine is a manic idea for Putin on the one hand. On the other hand, he needs full control over Ukraine. Without Ukraine, the Russian Federation has no future.
