Berlin/Ankara – The federal government continues to rely on diplomacy in the escalated Ukraine conflict*. “Hold on,” Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday. “There can only be a diplomatic solution.” Is that actually realistic in the Ukraine war?
Ukraine war: Scholz calls for an immediate ceasefire – Turkey as a mediator?
During a state visit with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Scholz again called for an immediate ceasefire in the Ukraine war: “Every day, with every bomb, Putin is moving further away from the world community.”
If Scholz has his way, Erdogan can contribute to the end of the Ukraine war as an influential crisis diplomat. There is close cooperation with Turkey as a NATO partner in the conflict. “We must ensure that results are achieved soon that enable a ceasefire,” emphasized Scholz. Ankara has spoken out clearly against Russia’s war and has also supplied weapons, said the Chancellor.
Ukraine war: More arms deliveries by Germany?
However, arms deliveries from the West remain a topic of conflict. Panzerfausts, anti-aircraft missiles, armored vehicles and more than 20,000 helmets: German armaments aid for Ukraine is ongoing. But more is expected in Kyiv. Possible further weapon deliveries will probably also be an issue on Thursday. Then Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyj wants to speak in the German Bundestag. He will be connected via video.
Meanwhile, the US government wants to provide the Ukrainian armed forces primarily with air defense systems. That’s “the focus right now,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan told the TV station on Sunday CNN. The US did not want to send fighter jets to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia. US President Joe Biden only approved a further 200 million dollars for arms deliveries on Saturday.
Ukraine war: CDU puts pressure on the federal government because of Ukraine refugees
Meanwhile, the number of refugees from Ukraine remains a hot topic. The CDU calls on the federal government to do more to take in war refugees. It is imperative that the federal government fulfill its responsibility and organize admission better, said CDU General Secretary Mario Czaja on Monday after a visit to the arrival center at Berlin Central Station. So far, the Ministry of the Interior has left the work there to committed volunteers who self-sacrificingly carried out the tasks during the initial reception.
Better coordination between the federal, state and local governments is needed, said Czaja. The Union will make the accommodation and care for the refugees a central topic in the government survey in the Bundestag this week and will also apply for a current hour on this. Among other things, better protection for the women and children who have fled is important.
