He accused Russian President Vladimir Putin and his supporters of not only waging a war against Ukraine. &#8220;They consider their war against Ukraine to be part of a larger crusade: a crusade against liberal democracy, (\u2026) against the rules-based international order, (\u2026) against freedom and progress, (\u2026) against our way of life, and a crusade against what Putin calls the &#8216;collective West.&#8217; He means all of us.&#8221; The main burden of the war is borne primarily by the brave men and women of Ukraine, Scholz said. &#8220;They are the people who are being killed and maimed, raped and deported.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.progressives-zentrum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/221007-BK-Video-PGS_BK-SPRACHCHECK_FINAL.pdf\">Full manuscript of the speech<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Liberal democracies, he said, have for years been at the mercy of severe attacks, internal and external. But those attacks have reached a new level with Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine, he said. &#8220;And that also describes the task we set ourselves: to move our country forward \u2013 as<br>a free, open and future-oriented society. With life chances, equal rights and opportunities for all.&#8221; Only together, he said, is it possible to respond to authoritarianism, which always aims to divide. Together, he said, one can fight lies and liars. &#8220;Only together. This is key. This is what matters now,&#8221; Scholz stressed. &#8220;If we agree on this one fundamental understanding, we may disagree on details and tactics.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Numerous media outlets have picked up Scholz&#8217;s remarks, including: <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/europe\/live-news\/russia-ukraine-war-news-10-13-22\/h_a5b1eddef7285bf3ef09e9e71dadc42b\"><em>CNN<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/german-chancellor-putins-war-part-of-larger-crusade\/av-63428550\"><em>Deutsche Welle<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/app.handelsblatt.com\/politik\/international\/liveblog-zum-ukraine-krieg-alle-entwicklungen-scholz-russland-fuehrt-kreuzzug-gegen-den-westen-russland-meldet-erstmals-tod-gerade-einberufener-soldaten\/27982126.html\"><em>Handelsblatt<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdr.de\/nachrichten\/welt\/osteuropa\/politik\/liveblog-russland-ukraine-cherson-evakuierung-kaempfe-100.html\"><em>MDR<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.n-tv.de\/politik\/11-58-Scholz-Waffenlieferungen-so-lange-fortsetzen-wie-noetig--article23143824.html\"><em>n-tv<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/germanys-scholz-putins-war-against-ukraine-part-larger-crusade-against-west-2022-10-13\/\"><em>Reuters<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/ukraine-latest-news-russia-makes-world-war-three-threat-to-nato-putin-12541713?postid=4649524#liveblog-body\"><em>SKY News<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stern.de\/panorama\/video-angriffe-auf-ukraine---scholz-spricht-von-russischem-kreuzzug-32812834.html\"><em>Stern<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sueddeutsche.de\/politik\/angriffe-auf-ukraine-scholz-spricht-von-russischem-kreuzzug-1.5674497\"><em>S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swr3.de\/aktuell\/nachrichten\/ukraine-konflikt-ticker-100.html\"><em>SWR<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2022\/oct\/13\/putins-war-on-ukraine-part-of-crusade-against-liberal-democracy-says-scholz\"><em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/europe\/ukraine-russia-news-war-missiles-un-b2201919.html\"><em>The Independent<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-online.de\/nachrichten\/ukraine\/id_100063516\/-newsblog-zum-ukraine-krieg-bericht-russland-stellt-offensive-in-teilen-ein.html\"><em>T-Online<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/world\/articles\/2022-10-13\/germanys-scholz-putins-war-against-ukraine-part-of-larger-crusade-against-west\"><em>US News<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/live-updates-russia-ukraine-war\/2022\/10\/13\/1ce36632-4ad8-11ed-8153-96ee97b218d2_story.html\"><em>Washington Post<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeit.de\/politik\/ausland\/ukraine-krieg-russland-newsblog-live?page=4#event_id=ekkjD7VH2Qcr2AzvLY4R\"><em>ZEIT Online<\/em><\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the video message, the head of the Federal Chancellor&#8217;s Office, Wolfgang Schmidt, discussed the issue with Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum and Guardian Editor-in-Chief Katharine Viner.
