On March 27 local time, after participating in the 'Volunteer Alliance' summit in Paris, France, the German Chancellor Scholz held a brief press conference. Scholz refused to ease any sanctions on Russia, stating that 'as long as peace is not achieved, it makes no sense to end the sanctions'. At the same time, the United States and Europe must 'take a clear - cut stance together' as always. Scholz emphasized that the United States must agree to all agreements reached by Europe.
On the 20th, the French President Macron said in Brussels, Belgium, that Paris would host the 'Volunteer Alliance' summit in support of Ukraine on the 27th to discuss military assistance to Ukraine.
