German Chancellor Olaf Scholz claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not achieved any of his goals in the war in Ukraine, DPA and Reuters report.
“None of Putin’s plans have worked,” Scholz said in a statement to the Bundestag on Wednesday, adding that the Russian president had made a fundamental miscalculation.
He believed that his troops would occupy Ukraine in a few days and that Europe and the democratic West were too divided to effectively help Ukraine, the German chancellor explained.
“He thought he could dry up European solidarity by turning off our gas tap,” Scholz said.
Putin was wrong “about the courage of Ukrainians, about Europe, about us, about the nature of our democracies, about our will to resist imperialism and big states,” he added.
Scholz reiterated that the European Union is united in its support for Ukraine and, apparently referring to Hungary, said that attempts to undermine EU values by blocking foreign policy measures will fail. (Source Agerpres)
