Pistorius says he won't run for chancellor candidate in February's snap elections
The announcement, which Boris Pistorius made in a video posted to SDP social media channels, clears the way for incumbent chancellor Olaf Scholz to run for a second term.
NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his recent remarks against German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. In a bold response, Rutte called Zelensky’s attacks on Scholz “unfair,” stating that such criticism undermines diplomatic efforts. The tension arose after Zelensky publicly condemned Scholz for his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his refusal to supply Ukraine with advanced weaponry, such as Taurus cruise missiles. Rutte's statement reflects growing concern over the impact of internal disagreements on European unity and NATO’s collective strategy. Watch now to see Rutte’s strong rebuke of Zelensky’s actions.
