The ex-chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, said that in the conditions of the election of Donald Trump as the new president of the United States, the European Union should consider possible diplomatic approaches “to the solution of the situation in Ukraine”.
She voiced these thoughts during the presentation of her memoirs entitled Freedomwhich went on sale on Tuesday. Her speech was broadcast by a German newspaper Die Zeit on your YouTube channel.
“In my book, I write that, in parallel with supporting Ukraine, all participants in the conflict — not only Ukraine itself, but also its allies — should think about options for diplomatic solutions. Given the fact that Donald Trump will officially take office as the US president in January, it is extremely important that Europeans who support Ukraine clearly understand what is acceptable for them and what is not,” Merkel said.
Angela Merkel was first elected to the Bundestag in 1990, and from 2000 to 2018 she headed the Christian Democratic Union party. She served as Chancellor of Germany for 16 years.
