Ukraine slams Scholz-Putin call as ‘attempt at appeasement’

Ukraine condemns Germany’s Olaf Scholz call to Russia’s Vladimir Putin as an “attempt at appeasement” that does not advance efforts for peace, three years into the Russian invasion.

“Talk only gives Putin hope of easing his international isolation,” Ukraine’s foreign ministry says. “What is needed are concrete, strong actions that will force him to peace, not persuasion and attempts at appeasement, which he sees as a sign of weakness and uses to his advantage.”
