German defence minister says Putin’s desire to render Ukraine defenceless is ‘very transparent’
German defence minister Boris Pistorius accused Vladimir Putin of “playing a game” on Ukraine, calling out Russia’s attacks on Ukraine overnight.
“We’ve seen that attacks on civilian infrastructure have not eased at all in the first night after this supposedly groundbreaking, great phone call” between Putin and US president Donald Trump, Pistorius said in a TV interview, quoted by AFP.
Trump wants to stop the fighting. Putin wants Ukraine to stop the fighting. That may be a subtle, yet fundamental difference.
Sanctions against Russia. Assistance to Ukraine. Strengthening allies in the free world and working toward security guarantees. And only a real cessation of strikes on civilian infrastructure by Russia, as proof of its willingness to end this war, can bring peace closer.
