The former President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Thierse (SPD) sees in the current situation little chance for dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “As long as Putin’s army is waging a criminal war in a weaker neighboring country, as long as the invasion continues, how are you supposed to talk to him, let alone make agreements,” he told news channel MDR Aktuell. Nevertheless, he was expressly in favor of all efforts to reach a ceasefire. However, Thierse emphasizes that no agreements should be made across Ukraine.
Previous diplomatic attempts have failed because Putin “shamelessly lied to, downright deceived,” his interlocutors, says the Social Democrat. In his view, Putin is ideologically imbued with Great-Russian nationalism and chauvinism. But a distinction must be made between Putin and Russia, emphasizes Thierse.
