German Chancellor Olaf Scholz held a meeting with Chilean President Gabriel Boric in which he emphasized that the war in Ukraine will not turn into a war between Russia and NATO.

"We have contributed to the prevention of an escalation of the conflict, because this would have serious consequences for the whole world. But this will not happen: we will prevent it with all our forces, we have achieved so far and we will we continue to do so." .

"It's about supporting Ukraine, having a serious debate to make the decisions that need to be made and it shouldn't become a race about who sends more weapons," he added.

And he explained that, like his American counterpart Biden, he does not want to send troops to Ukraine precisely to avoid escalation.

Scholz had already ruled out sending fighter jets to Ukraine, having instead agreed in recent days to supply 14 German-made Leopard 2 tanks.
