Details: In the west in Berlin, on January 23, Merz promised to continue supporting Ukraine.
Speaking of the cessation of Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, he stressed that Ukraine should “win the war” and be free in the choice of its political and military alliances.
Merz’s Direct Language: “Victory means the restoration of territorial integrity with a democratically legitimate government that exercises its own state sovereignty.”
The publication also emphasizes that it did not directly comment on the dispute over a possible 3 billion euros assistance package to finance further weapons supplies.
Like the current Chancellor Olaf Soltz, Merz said Germany should not become a party to the war.
