Putin threatened to deploy chemical and biological weapons: Germany reacts in a flash – New Time

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has strongly warned Russian President Vladimir Putin against the use of chemical or biological weapons in the war in Ukraine, German government spokesman Steffen Heberstreit said in Berlin on Wednesday. TASR received the report from DPA. Asked by reporters whether Scholz had warned the Kremlin chief against the use of such weapons and whether he had mentioned the possible consequences of such a move, Hebestreit replied that German Chancellor Putin had “warned in a direct interview”. “However, no other consequences have been discussed,” a German government spokesman added. Scholz has made several phone calls to Putin since the start of Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine almost a month ago, the DPA writes. Shortly before the invasion began, a German chancellor visited the Kremlin.
