Gerhard Schröder was the Chancellor of Germany between 1998 and 2005.
US torpedoed peace deal in Ukraine
Published 22 October 2023 at 09:51
FOREIGN. Germany's former chancellor Gerhard Schröder now reveals that the White House did not "allow" Volodymyr Zelenskyj to agree to the compromises that Russia demanded in order to end its military offensive as early as March 2022. The peace negotiations therefore became mostly theater, according to Schröder, who himself sat in during the negotiations.

In an interview published by German newspaper Berliner Zeitung on Friday, Schröder said he was asked to help mediate the March 2022 peace talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials in Istanbul.

He said that while representatives of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi were open to making concessions on such key issues as abandoning efforts to join NATO, "the Ukrainians did not agree to peace because they were not allowed to. They first had to to ask the Americans about everything they discussed.”

Russian officials have repeatedly claimed that the United States and other Western countries pressured Zelenskyi's government to refuse to agree to a peace settlement. Schröder essentially confirmed that claim in the Berliner Zeitung interview.

- My impression: Nothing could happen because everything else was decided in Washington, he says in the interview.

The former chancellor described Washington's strategy as "fatal" and said it resulted in closer ties between Russia and China.

- The Americans think they can keep the Russians down, says Schröder.

- But now it is the case that two actors, China and Russia, who face resistance from the United States, are joining forces. Americans believe they are strong enough to keep both sides in check. In my humble opinion, this is a mistake. Just look at how worn out the American side is now. Look at the chaos in Congress.

Washington's allies in Western Europe "failed" to seize the opportunity to push for peace in March 2022, Schröder said. At the time, he added, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was open to compromise on Crimea and the breakaway territories of the Donbass region.

Since then, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been killed as Western military aid prolonged the conflict. Putin estimated earlier this month that the Ukrainian side alone lost over 90,000 troops in the failed counteroffensive that began in June, while Russia is tight-lipped about its own losses.

- The arms deliveries are not a permanent solution, but nobody wants to discuss the matter, says Schröder.

- Everyone is locked in their trenches. But how many more people must die? It's a bit like the Middle East. Who are the victims on one side and on the other? Poor people who lose their children.

Schröder believes that only French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz can revive the peace talks in Eastern Europe.

- Scholz and Macron should actually support a peace process in Ukraine because it is not only an American issue, but above all a European issue, he says.

- Why didn't Scholz and Macron combine the arms deliveries with an offer to talk? Macron and Scholz are the only ones who can talk to Putin.

Young people in Sweden should be able to be sentenced to significantly harsher punishments in the future, SD believes.
Åkesson wants life imprisonment for 13-year-olds
Published October 21, 2023 at 1:34 p.m
DOMESTIC. SD leader Jimmie Åkesson wants the age of sentencing to be lowered from today's 15 years to 13. Life imprisonment should also be able to be imposed on 13-year-olds, according to him.

- My attitude is that if you are old enough to commit a serious violent crime then you are also old enough to take the consequences for the crime you have committed, he says in Ekot's Saturday interview.

The criminal authority age is currently being investigated by the government, in accordance with the Tidö Agreement.
