Germany's Chancellor: As soon as a ceasefire is reached with Ukraine and Russia

Scholz said new corridors must be established for the civilian population.

He stressed that there must be concrete results.

“How soon a ceasefire should be reached between parties so that we do not have further human life losses. Also, corridors should be provided where the civilian population can leave war sites untouched”.

And we should let Russia's president know that the solution in this case should come only from diplomatic routes. What interests us now is to have concrete results on both sides in achieving the <x1) truce.

I have had intensive talks with President Putin and President Zelensky, and also with French President Emmanuel Macron, and I have made it clear that we should have results”.

We're also doing our best to keep Ukraine safe. Germany and Turkey are sending financial and weapons aid”.
