"Russian Army has stalled in Ukraine despite the daily assaults inflicted by troops, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says, insisting that Kyiv can “count on our help," APA reports citing BBC.
"Russian leader “must hear the truth” that the war is destroying not only Ukraine, “but also Russia’s future” “Scholz said.
Scholz insists that Germany stands by Kyiv, but says he will not endorse calls for NATO to help erect a no-fly zone over Ukraine or to send in “peacekeeping troops.”
“As difficult as it is, we will not give in on that,” he says, adding that Germany will not risk a direct military conflict between nuclear-armed Russia and NATO.
