The Bundestag in Berlin. File photoBERLIN, Sep 5 Europe and the German government must take a diplomatic initiative to end the conflict in Ukraine, says Bundestag member of the Left Party faction Sarah Wagenknecht. According to her, the current conflict in Ukraine could be completed «only through negotiations.» «Putin should be put under pressure to agree to a reasonable compromise. But the West and Ukraine are not even trying to do this,» the deputy said in an interview with the German edition of t-online. She recalled that in the situation with the supply of wheat, many said that the negotiations were pointless. “Then Turkish President Erdogan, like no one else, took the initiative, and now ships with wheat can sail the Black Sea again. Europe and the German government should have come up with a diplomatic initiative to end the war. Or we also want to wait until this will Erdogan do? — noted the deputy. She stressed that in order for the death of people to stop, a willingness to compromise is needed on both sides. Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to abuse, genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» To this end, according to him, it is planned to carry out «demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine» bloody crimes against civilians» of Donbass. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops and, on March 25, they completed the main tasks of the first stage — they significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine.
