KYIV, Ukraine – German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Ukraine for the first time in more than two years Monday and vowed to keep supporting Kyiv in the war, just weeks after he was rebuked by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for having a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
With the war soon to enter its fourth year, Zelenskyy said he disagreed with Scholz´s call with Putin. Zelenskyy said it could prompt phone calls with other leaders, possibly reducing Putin´s international isolation and legitimizing his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Scholz, who faces an early election in February, has cast his refusal to send Taurus missiles as part of a “prudent” approach to the conflict that assures Ukraine of strong support without taking the risk of the war escalating into a conflict between NATO and Russia.
Some Western nations granted permission in November for Kyiv to carry out long-range strikes with the weapons they have supplied. Following the decision, Putin said Russia launched a strike on Ukraine with what he called an unstoppable intermediate range ballistic missile dubbed the Oreshnik. It marked the first time that such a missile was used in the war or in any other conflict.
