Paris and Berlin adhere to a common approach to the Ukrainian crisis and call on Russia to de-escalate, said French President Emmanuel Macron. According to him, according to Interfax, the two capitals are united and “strongly call for a de-escalation of tension.”
Within various formats, including NATO and the EU, Paris and Berlin “play their role” in arms control issues, on the situation around Ukraine and in finding a political solution in the Donbass. The United States is also participating in this work, he assured.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in turn, urged to do everything possible to de-escalate tensions and “so that the situation gets a different development.” And they are waiting for “de-escalation steps” from Russia, he specified. And he added that he had already said earlier: military aggression, which would put the territorial integrity of Ukraine in question, would have consequences and a very high price. Scholz also indicated that Berlin supports negotiating formats, including direct dialogue between Russia and the United States in Geneva, and the resumption of the Russia-NATO format, and in particular the Normandy format.
We will remind, earlier today it became known that NATO will not deploy troops in Ukraine. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with CNN. According to Stoltenberg, there will be no combat units of the alliance in Ukraine.
At the same time, Stoltenberg also said that NATO would not compromise with Moscow on the fundamental principles of the alliance. Stoltenberg promised to send a written response to the proposals of the Russian Federation on security and strategic stability this week “in parallel with Washington.” At the same time, he added, the alliance is ready to discuss arms control and other topics related to European security with Moscow. These are, among other things, disarmament, transparency of military activities, risk reduction mechanisms, he listed.
