The German Chancellor assured that everything is not as radical as it seems in words.
The removal of Russian President Vladimir Putin from power is not the goal of either NATO or the United States, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Sunday evening on the German state television channel ARD.
“This is not the goal of NATO President or US President Joe Biden,” Scholz said, commenting on US President Joe Biden, who said during a visit to Poland that Putin should not remain in power.
“I had the opportunity to talk to Biden many times over a long period of time, and we also discussed these issues,” Scholz said.
According to him, “democracy, freedom and justice have a future everywhere, but people and nations must fight for this freedom.”
Recalling on Saturday, March 26, US President Joe Biden, speaking in Warsaw, stressed that the culprit in everything that is happening in Ukraine today is the president of the aggressor country, Vladimir Putin, and added that he should not remain in power.
At the same time, the next day, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken assured that US President Joe Biden's words that Kremlin President Vladimir Putin “cannot stay in power” meant that “Putin simply cannot be authorized to wage war.”
On the same day, French President Emmanuel Macron said “there must be no escalation of words and actions” in relations with Putin, and criticized Biden, who called Putin a butcher.
