According to the Chancellor, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin shows no intention of a ceasefire in the fourth year of the full-scale invasion. Instead, the Kremlin ordered the largest attacks on vital infrastructure in Ukrainian cities throughout the war. Merz emphasized that such actions by the Russian leadership bear the hallmarks of war crimes, as they are directed against the civilian population during the winter period.
The German government continues to insist on the need to end hostilities. At the same time, Friedrich Merz emphasized that lasting peace is possible only if Ukraine is provided with effective security guarantees. This refers to clear commitments from the United States of America and European partners, which should prevent renewed aggression in the future.
