einnews.comGermany's Merz: Russia not seeking ceasefire, Ukraine must be supported
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in Turku on Tuesday that Russia and President Vladimir Putin have no interest in pursuing a ceasefire in Ukraine. He made the comments during a joint press appearance with Finland’s Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. Merz is visiting Finland to attend a meeting with Nordic prime ministers. His remarks followed questions about diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
Political scientist Claudia Major strongly warns against a "dirty peace" in the Ukraine war – also out of German self-interest. The new chancellor Merz attests it to a good start in security policy. Some of his decisions are "irritating".
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made this announcement this Monday, saying that "it is obvious that Putin considers the proposals for discussions to be a weakness."
