German Chancellor Merkel calls on the United States not to forget its responsibilities to NATO!
Merkel calls on Washington not to forget its responsibilities to NATO, and urges the United States that in the future, it should not formulate any peace plan without consulting European allies on alliance issues.
Merkel believes that when the United States formulated the 28-point plan for a Ukraine peace, it bypassed Europe and consulted with Russia, which can be seen as a departure from transatlantic alliance relations. Merkel emphasized that Europe very much hopes that Americans maintain their commitment to Western values and continue to be aware of their responsibilities within the framework of the NATO alliance.
"This is not just a war for Ukraine; it is a war against the entire Western international community and against the European political order. Americans and all of us are interested in its continued existence."
In addition, Merkel believes that Russia cannot return to the G8 format envisioned by the U.S. Ukraine plan. There are currently no necessary conditions for taking this step. No one besides the United States supports this idea, and Russia's return to the G8 can only be achieved on the basis of full consensus among all parties.
