Scholz Quote: "From my point of view, there is a missing line that would say: there should also be a withdrawal of Russian troops."

Details: At the same time, Scholz called the mention in China's proposals of preventing the use of nuclear weapons "surprisingly correct".

As the German chancellor stated, the fact that there cannot be a "Russian-style dictator's peace" remains unchanged. "President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin should realise this," he added.
