Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has stalled despite the daily assaults inflicted by his troops, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says, insisting that Kyiv can “count on our help.”
“Putin’s offensive is stuck despite all the destruction that it is bringing day after day,” Scholz says, adding that the Russian leader “must hear the truth” that the war is destroying not only Ukraine, “but also Russia’s future.”
Scholz insists that Germany stands by Kyiv, but says he will not endorse calls for NATO to help erect a no-fly zone over Ukraine or to send in “peacekeeping troops.”
“As difficult as it is, we will not give in on that,” he says, adding that Germany will not risk a direct military conflict between nuclear-armed Russia and NATO.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
