Today, standing for peace means enforcing the law. Peace is not surrender. Peace does not mean giving up principles
– said the French President, who was received by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Berlin with a military salute on the first day of his three-day visit to Germany.
“Peace means that any country must be given the opportunity to defend its borders and sovereignty,” Marcon said, adding that this matter will also be discussed at the bilateral Defense and Security Council meeting on Tuesday. As he said, at the meeting it will be emphasized that they will help Ukraine “to the end” in showing resistance. Ukraine said
They equip, accompany, train and prepare for all scenarios in order to build a lasting peace, that is, a peace that respects international law.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier also believes that support for Ukraine should not be abandoned.
During the day, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that 24,000 Russian soldiers were injured or killed every month for the “imperialist dreams” of Russian President Vladimir Putin, in addition to the many casualties in Ukraine.
The last time the French President made an official visit to Germany as head of state was 24 years ago. Macron was accompanied to Berlin by his wife, Brigitte.
