German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged continued Western support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, saying on Saturday that Germany would not let up in its efforts to support Kiev.
Speaking at a gathering of European social democrats in Bucharest, Sholz said that the best way to prevent any escalation, including a potential conflict between Russia and NATO, is what he described as effective deterrence.
He added, "The war in Ukraine ends the moment Russian President Vladimir Putin decides to withdraw his forces. However, he will only take that decision if he realizes that he cannot win the war on the battlefield," he added.
