German FM says Putin wants Ukraine full surrender
(MENAFN) German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, during an unannounced visit to Kyiv, stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not interested in peace negotiations but instead aims for Ukraine’s full surrender.
Speaking amid intensified Russian attacks and a prolonged deadlock in diplomatic efforts to end the war, Wadephul said, "Putin is not ceding on any of his maximalist demands, he doesn't want negotiations, he wants a capitulation."
The German official emphasized that defending Ukraine’s sovereignty remains a top priority for Berlin’s foreign and security policy. "Ukraine's freedom and liberty is the most important task of our foreign and security policy," he stated.
He also warned that Moscow is attempting to undermine international backing for Ukraine. According to him, Russia is "betting on a weakening of our support" and "wants conquest and submission at any cost, even at the cost of hundreds of thousands of additional lives."
