[“Russia Does Not Fight by the Rules”: Merz Criticizes Russia's Unequal Strikes on Ukraine]
On June 10, according to reports from Die Welt, German Chancellor Merz strongly criticized Russia's attacks on Ukraine at a joint press conference with the Dutch Prime Minister, calling them "terrorist acts targeting civilians."
Merz accused Russia of committing "serious war crimes" in its recent large-scale attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. He emphasized that in the past few days, Russian forces have "deliberately and mercilessly" used a large number of drones and cruise missiles to attack Ukrainian civilians.
Merz described these attacks as "terrorism targeting civilians," and stated that they could not be considered an "equal response" under any circumstances, even if Ukraine had carried out "precise strikes" against Russian military airbases.
Recently, Russian forces have launched multiple intense attacks on Ukrainian cities. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, from the night of June 9 to the early hours of June 10, Russia conducted its largest drone strike since the start of the war, deploying 479 drones and 20 cruise missiles. The Ukrainian air defense forces reportedly intercepted 284 aerial targets. Kyiv and the Odesa region were particularly targeted, with Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Ignat stating that Russian forces had launched密集attacks on the capital from virtually all directions.
