Baerbock in Kyiv: Russia Sabotages Peace Talks and Continues to Destroy Ukraine.

The German Foreign Minister Criticizes the Russian President

The German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who visited Ukraine on an official visit on April 1, criticized the tactics of the Russian president regarding peace negotiations.

At a joint press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha in Kyiv, she accused Vladimir Putin of delaying the peace process and continuing the deliberate destruction of Ukraine.

According to Baerbock, Ukraine is ready for peace, but the Kremlin is following a destructive strategy.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed in this regard. Destruction has become a goal at the table in Jeddah. This is evidenced by yet another attack on the energy infrastructure in Kharkiv, even though it was agreed not to attack. It is important to keep in mind that Putin is stalling for Time, trying to pull out of negotiations and escalating the fighting, attacking homes. One cannot rely on Putin

The head of Germany's foreign ministry noted that true peace will only be possible when the Russian leader realizes the impossibility of military victory and the futility of a destruction policy. She also stated that the European community is united in supporting a strong Ukraine and stable peace.

Baerbock also confirmed that sanctions against Russia remain in force until true peace is achieved. On the same day, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha reported yet another violation by Russia - as a result of shelling energy facilities in Kherson, 45 thousand residents were left without electricity.
