German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said he supports Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite criticism from NATO allies and Kiev.
“There is no talk of peace with Putin at the moment, and yet we must keep trying and at the same time support Ukraine,” he told the public broadcaster ARD on Sunday evening.
Less than 48 hours after Friday’s phone call, Pistorius said Putin showed “what he thinks of peace negotiations or a ceasefire.”
“He had civilian infrastructure in Ukraine bombed from the air in a way that has not been seen for a long time,” referring to Moscow’s widespread strikes early Sunday on the country’s power grid.
