[German Chancellor’s Unannounced Visit to Ukraine: A Decisive Few Weeks Ahead]
Breaking news: The German Chancellor arrived in Kyiv on Sunday, without prior announcement.
In a post on his personal account, he wrote, “Ukraine faces decisive weeks ahead. You can count on us—Germany’s own security depends on the outcome of this war. Therefore, our support is also in our own interest.”
Merkel stated that failure to halt Russia would inevitably lead to the war machine turning toward Germany, and that a fifth winter of conflict looms—a rationale underpinning his call for continued assistance.
During a meeting with Zelenskyy, he said, “Germany will stand by you as a reliable partner, even in difficult times.”
Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for the timely support: “Eternal honor to all Ukrainian defenders who have given their lives—for Ukraine and for all of Europe.”
Meanwhile, Merz faces mounting challenges from Germany’s Alternative for Germany party.
A comment posted under his message read: “If they hadn’t blown up our Nord Stream pipelines, I’d be happy to help. They’ll stop at nothing to fund the war. First, speak with our people—there are serious issues within Germany. When you pledge on behalf of Germany while losing public support, it makes the country look foolish.”
Another user told him: “Stay there. Don’t come back. Germany can do without you.”
At yesterday’s press conference, a reporter asked Putin: “Perhaps it’s time to dismantle the EU and deal with each country individually?”
Putin replied: “No need for such effort. They will disintegrate on their own.”
