Stuttgart, May 27, (dpa/GNA) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says “Putin’s narrative” on the impending food crisis must be refuted.
“He has found a phrasing for this. He always talks about us as the global West,” Scholz said in a speech at the German Catholic Conference in the south-western city of Stuttgart.
By this, Putin means his enemies, against whom he wants to ally himself with all other countries, Scholz said.
“The hunger crisis that his war, which he instigated, is causing, he then tries to blame on those who stand by Ukraine,” Scholz said.
It is therefore important to approach the countries of the global South on an equal footing, he added.
