We’re covering stern warnings from Europe to Russia and the latest from the Winter Olympics. President Andrzej Duda of Poland, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany and President Emmanuel Macron of France, in Berlin on Tuesday.Pool photo by Hannibal Hanschke Europe calls for peace, but not at any price After two days of diplomacy about the crisis in Ukraine, the leaders of France, Germany and Poland said [their overriding goal was the preservation of peace in Europe](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRj5d2XP4QPAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjIvMDIvMDgvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL3VrcmFpbmUtcnVzc2lhLW1hY3Jvbi1zY2hvbHotZHVkYS1wdXRpbi1iaWRlbi5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIyMDIwOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD01MjU2NiZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD04MjA3MiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYgGXWANirwmVlVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), but they warned Russia of dire consequences “politically, economically and surely strategically,” according to Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, if the country launched further incursions into Ukraine. It was one of the strongest statements yet on the crisis from Scholz. Germany has faced criticism for what has been perceived as a weak response to the massive Russian troop buildup at the Ukrainian border. But a recent meeting with President Biden appeared to have stiffened the resolve of the chancellor, who took office just two months ago. A spokesman for the Kremlin rejected reports that Emmanuel Macron, the French president, and Vladimir Putin, the leader of Russia, had reached any agreement in a recent meeting to de-escalate the crisis over Russia’s military buildup at Ukraine’s border, suggesting that it was the U.S., not France, that had standing to negotiate such a deal. Quotable: Andrzej Duda, the Polish president, called the situation “the most difficult since 1989.” Europe, he added, “has not seen these kinds of troop movements since World War II.” News analysis: With few compromises so far, the standoff could turn into a drawn-out and dangerous diplomatic slog.
