Russia is urged to end the war and withdraw troops.
Today German Chancellor Olaf Scholz held telephone talks with US President Joe Biden. The focus was on Russia's ongoing aggressive war against Ukraine and Kyiv's support for its war against Russia . Both leaders have stated that they do not recognize the legitimacy of any steps that run counter to Ukraine's territorial sovereignty and integrity. This is stated in a statement on the website of the German government.
The leaders agreed that Ukraine should continue to receive substantial and continued support in exercising its legitimate right to self-defense. Russia continues to urge the immediate cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine and, thus, the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Scholz and Biden strongly condemned the recent statements of the Russian leadership to discredit the democratically legitimate Ukrainian leadership.
Scholz also said that German Foreign Minister Burbock will visit Ukraine in the near future.
