German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of grossly misrepresenting the situation in Ukraine, claiming he told an "absurd story" about the origin of the conflict during his sit-down with Tucker Carlson.One of several parties to the Istanbul talks which would have ended the bloody slaughter in Ukraine a year ago was Naftali Bennett. He explicitly names the US, the UK and NATO as responsible for scuttling the agreement
Speaking during a visit to Washington, DC on Friday, Scholz weighed in on Putin's recent interview with the former Fox host, arguing it only "mocks what real actions have been done by Russia in Ukraine" and presented a "completely absurd story about the cause of this war."
"There is a very clear cause, that is the desire of the president of Russia to annex part of Ukraine. And all the stories that are told about it do not change the fact that that is exactly the purpose of his imperialist efforts," the chancellor added.
Scholz went on to say that the fighting could "end at any time," but not "by Ukraine capitulating," and that "conditions for a peaceful solution" must be created as soon as possible.





Comment: Once again the Israeli's provide flimsy evidence to support yet another baseless claim that a building intended and used for humanitarian purposes was actually a secret headquarters for terrorism.
