War: Scholz: No end to the Ukraine war anytime soon

Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) does not expect the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine to end any time soon. "We have to be prepared for the fact that it can take a long time," Scholz said on Monday evening at the Rheinische Post's Ständehaus meeting in Düsseldorf.

The Chancellor emphasized that he did not believe in the concept of using force from outside to replace rulers like Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin. US President Joe Biden told him that the US would not pursue this as a political concept either. "I support the American President in this idea." Russia cannot dictate the conditions for peace to Ukraine, Scholz continued. "Ukraine must be able to defend its integrity and independence."
