Answering a question about the change in position regarding the public discussion of arms supplies, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz explained: "I agree with the Minister of Defense and the Vice Chancellor that we no longer want to conduct open discussions about weapons. It is not about not wanting to inform the German public anymore. With these discussions, we are only playing into Putin's hands and providing him with valuable information. We will fulfill our obligations and provide the necessary military support."
