Foreign media reported today (December 2nd): "German Chancellor Merkel stated that peace cannot be 'imposed' on Ukraine, and any decisions involving Ukraine and Europe should involve Ukraine and Europe."

[Cunning] Comment: Germany's argument against 'imposing peace' is very hypocritical. When the US fanned the flames and Europe followed suit, pushing Ukraine into the fire, why didn't they consider the cost of 'imposing war'? Now the war has spread and people are suffering, and Germany casually says 'peace should not be imposed', trying to distance itself? Refusing to 'impose peace' costs Germany only the cost of rhetoric; Ukraine pays the cost of life. Why did you do it in the first place if you knew it would end like this? Russia has clearly stated from the beginning - Ukraine just needs not to join NATO. If Europe had been rational and restrained, how could it have come to this? Now pretending to be a 'peacemaker' is nothing more than a cover for its own strategic myopia!
