German Chancellor Condemns Russian Attacks on Civilian Infrastructure in Ukraine and Says He Will Continue to Support Ukraine

The Chancellor of Germany Olaf Solz asked Vladimir Putin the withdrawal of Russian forces to be allowed a “diplomatic solution” in Ukraine during his telephone communication with the head of the Kremlin, announced a representative of the chancellery.

The German chancellor condemned the Russian attacks against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine during today’s one-hour phone call, the first since mid-September. He also emphasized Germany’s determination to support Ukraine to ensure its defense capability against Russian aggression.

The Kremlin in turn said, according to Reuters, that Putin said in his communication with Olaf Scholz that the German and western line in Ukraine was “disastrous” and called on Berlin to reconsider its approach.

The two men discussed the global food situation, which remains under pressure due to the war in Ukraine, according to the chancellor’s spokesman.

Solz and Putin agreed to “remain in contact.”
