NATO Secretary General: Zelensky’s criticism of Scholz is unfair
“I have often told Zelenskyj that he should stop criticizing Olaf Scholz”: The NATO Secretary General comments on the allegations against the Chancellor in clear words. The Taurus question remains.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte considers Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj’s sometimes harsh criticism of Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) to be unjustified. “I have often told Zelenskyj that he should stop criticizing Olaf Scholz because I think that is unfair,” said Rutte in an interview with the German Press Agency.
What Scholz has done for Ukraine is impressive. He helped ensure that Germany was second only to the USA in providing military support to Ukraine. This is an achievement for which Kiev can also be grateful.
Rutte would deliver Taurus
At the same time, Rutte made it clear that, unlike Scholz, he would also supply Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles and would not impose any restrictions on their use. “In general, we know that such capabilities are very important for Ukraine,” said the former Dutch prime minister. But it is not up to him to decide what allies should deliver.
Selenskyj had recently criticized Scholz, among other things, for calling Russian President Vladimir Putin against his will. He repeatedly publicly expressed his lack of understanding of the Chancellor’s no to the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles.
