“This Imperialist in the Kremlin (Putin. – Ed.) Does not want negotiations, he does not want peace,” Pistorius said, adding that peace requires “always the willingness of both sides.”
He recalled Putin’s invaders against Georgia, annexation of Crimea and eventually a full -scale invasion of Ukraine with the “most cruel” war.
Separately, Germany’s Defense Minister stressed that Russia has completely switched to the military economy, and “the Russian army will be twice as high as before the war in Ukraine.”
According to Pistorius, this is why it is important for Germany and NATO to invest in defense, as Putin understands only the language of power.
In early June, a document signed by more than 100 figures related to the Social Democratic Party, where “peaceful circles of the SPDN” called for negotiations with Russia and stopping the location of new American Medium-range missiles in Germany, has caused a violent reaction in Germany.
These calls were already publicly rejected by Germany’s defense Minister Boris Pistorius, as well as Chancellor Friedrich Merz from the Christian Democratic Union.
