The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk, reacted to the statement of Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz about "Putin's war."
Scholz wrote on his Twitter that "it is absolutely unacceptable for people who came from Russia to be insulted, offended or physically attacked. Because this is Putin's war, only he is responsible for it."
Ich möchte mich ausdrücklich bei den zahlreichen ehrenamtlichen Helferinnen und Helfern bedanken. Ihre überwältigende Solidarität, ihr unermüdlicher Einsatz tragen dazu bei, dass wir den Menschen, die vor dem furchtbaren Krieg in der Ukraine fliehen, helfen können. (2/3)

Stefanchuk commented on the words of the Chancellor of Germany.
"Mr. Chancellor, do you really think that only Putin who is killing our children, destroying our cities, ruining our country? Are Russians not involved? Do they only support his policy? Are Russian military not involved? Are they just following his orders? Do not lie to yourself. I want to remind you that during the Nuremberg Trials, no one got an acquittal with the argument: "I was just following orders," he said.
As was reported earlier, in March, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the Chancellor of Germany to close the sky over Ukraine. The President also asked his German colleague to speed up work on Ukraine's accession to the EU.
