German Foreign Minister Demands Algeria Call Russia Aggressor In War Against Ukraine

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has said Algeria must clearly name Russia as the "aggressor" in the war with Ukraine. Russia must be called "the aggressor by name," Baerbock said in Berlin on June 22 after a meeting with her Algerian counterpart, Ahmed Attaf, whose visit to the German capital comes on the heels of a trip to Moscow by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Baerbock said Algeria and Germany were "very far apart" on the war, adding that Germany had experienced up close how Russia attacked its European neighbor from one day to the next without any reason.
