Dusseldorf A war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine has been going on since Thursday morning. The capital Kyiv and other parts of the country are under attack, and the first areas have already been conquered.
It is estimated that more than 100,000 people have already fled. The EU, US and other Western allies further isolated Russia’s financial system over the weekend.
For one, they want to freeze the assets of the Russian central bank. On the other hand, the country’s most important credit institutions are to be excluded from the Swift banking communication network. So far, China has supported Putin in the Ukraine war – but not unconditionally, because the People’s Republic does not want to alienate the West and the US government at the same time or act as a warmonger.
Nicole Bastian, head of the foreign department, will discuss the current situation and the question of how far Russia will go and what the long-term consequences of the war will be with correspondents at 12 noon.
