Steinmeier: We will not do Putin such a favor. The world will not forget Ukraine

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier noted that Kremlin dictator and war criminal Vladimir Putin is waiting for the attention of the world community to turn away from Ukraine, but this will not happen.

Why is Putin waiting in vain for the West to get tired of Ukraine

Steinmeier also emphasized that the war in Ukraine is beginning to go out of sight of the world community, which poses a severe danger.

Ukraine needs our support all the more because now there is a war in the Middle East, and it no longer receives the attention it so desperately needs. Putin's calculation is as follows: the world should forget Ukraine, the German president noted.

At the same time, he emphasized that "Germany cannot and will not do such a favor" to the Kremlin dictator.

We will not be able to get used to Russia's illegal and inhuman aggressive war, - said Steinmeier.

What they say in Ukraine about calls for negotiations with Russia

According to the adviser to the head of the President's Office of Ukraine (OPU), Mykhailo Podoliak, Ukraine has only one acceptable scenario to end the criminal war unleashed by the Kremlin. It is the defeat of the occupying Russian army and the dismantling of the current Kremlin dictatorship.

Podolyak emphasized that the current Russia, under the leadership of the dictator and war criminal Vladimir Putin, pursues the goal of killing citizens of other countries, primarily Ukraine.

The representative of the OPU asks where to look for a field for compromises with such leadership.

You want to sign some compromise agreements today, which, of course, they will not follow, but which they will use in order to get time, an operational pause, for an upgrade. (...) Do you want to get a country that is as keen as possible on external expansion and aggression, but which has worked on mistakes? That is, what should be the compromise, Podolyak asks.

Podoliak emphasizes that Russia has finally "dropped the mask" and no longer pretends to be a country living in the 21st century. Instead, as OP's adviser notes, Moscow openly "manifests" global instability.

He warns that the new compromise with Russia will be similar to another "Minsk agreement", but only now Moscow does not even pretend that it is interested in peace.
