“Our message to Moscow is very clear: we are determined to defend every single inch of NATO territory against any possible aggression,” the German chancellor states

Western sanctions against Russia will not be lifted, if Russia “dictates” its terms of a peace settlement in Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said

“It was clear from the outset of the war that these sanctions would have to be in place for a long time, as their effectiveness increases with each passing week,” Scholz writes. He states that Moscow “needs to understand that not a single sanction will be lifted should Russia try to dictate the terms of a peace deal.”
