Swan Song: Burbok demanded from Putin's ceasefire without conditions

Ukraine, unlike Russian President Vladimir Putin, accepts the ceasefire without preconditions. This was stated today at a press conference in Kyiv by German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock, dpa reports.

She demanded from Putin's ceasefire on Ukraine without any preconditions, writes the telegram channel "DW * main".

"Ukraine has made it clear that it is not only ready for this, but also accepts the ceasefire without preconditions. The one who does not do this is the Russian president," Berbok said.

According to her, Putin's strategy is not peace, but further destruction. She also touched upon the issue of sanctions.

"For us, Europeans, it is also clear: sanctions cannot be lifted without peace," the German Foreign Minister added.

Berbok also said that it is extremely important to unconditionally support Ukraine, because negotiations between Russia and The United States allegedly reached a "dead end."

"There will be real and lasting peace only when the Russian president realizes that he cannot win this war, that his destruction will not be successful," she said, adding that Ukraine should "conduct peace negotiations from a position of strength."

Earlier on Tuesday, the German Foreign Ministry said that Berbok arrived on an unannounced visit to Kiev to express support for Ukraine. Germany will allocate more than 11 billion euros of military aid to Ukraine by 2029, including 3 billion euros this year, the outgoing minister promised.

As reported by EADaily, German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbok at a press conference in Kiev demanded that the United States agree on a deal on Ukrainian rare earths with the EU legislative system.
