DAVOS (dpa-AFX) – The thoughts of the war in Ukraine haunt Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz well beyond his working day. “You can’t switch off, it doesn’t just stop,” said the SPD politician on Thursday at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Like millions of other people in Europe and the world, this worries him every day. “Also the question of whether a war is about to break out that will go beyond the current war in Ukraine.”
The images and the suffering in the country, which has been defending itself against a Russian attack for more than three months, are terrible. “And I think that the horror of this and the concern associated with it should not be dismissed,” said the Chancellor. “It must be an incentive every day that we do everything to end this terrible war as quickly as possible.”/tam/DP/jha
