German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock promised stronger pressure on Washington to make the American government face the consequences of its policies.
This is reported by the German newspaper Berliner Morgenpost.
Baerbock believes it is necessary to take such measures, in particular, in connection with negotiations between the US and Russia regarding Ukraine.
"We are increasing the pressure on the Americans to lose as much as possible if they stop standing on the side of the liberal democracies of Europe," the official said.
In her opinion, a new "tipping point" is needed for peace, like at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost three years ago. The Foreign Minister warned against blackmail during negotiations.
"A fictitious peace, which is blackmail or capitulation, is not peace; on the contrary, it is further preparation for even greater war and violence. No one can resolve the issue of war and peace over the heads of Ukrainians or us, Europeans, and this is Germanyʼs clear position," added Annalena Baerbock.
In addition, the minister called the US President Donald Trumpʼs statement that Volodymyr Zelensky is allegedly a dictator "absurd".
