Federal President Steinmeier urges Putin to end the war in Ukraine

Watch the video: Federal President Steinmeier appeals to Russian President Putin.

“I appeal to President Putin: stop the madness of this war. Now. Our feelings and thoughts are with the people in the country who are victims of this war. The actions of their president will also have bitter consequences for the people of Russia. “I tell you all: we don’t want any enmity with the Russian people, on the contrary. But this injustice cannot remain without a clear answer. The Federal Government is working to achieve this with determination and together with our partners in the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union. You can rely on that. And Germany will do its part to deter and prevent Putin from using violence against our partners in the alliance. That will demand a lot from us Germans. This is a turning point, a deep turning point. And we feel it to the core, you, your families and me too. But I said it before this attack and I’ll say it again: the Russian President should have the strength of democracies should not be underestimated. And please, dear compatriots, let us not underestimate the strength of our democracy. It is good that people are taking to the streets and squares of our country and expressing that. Let us show our sympathy and solidarity to the people of Ukraine. The Russian President should not believe for a second that the people of Germany and Europe simply accept this brutal violence. And let’s show the people of Russia who want peace that they are not alone. Let’s show each other and our partners right now what’s important to us. We want peace, we want freedom, justice and self-determination for the peoples of Europe.”
