Merz forgot about the results of the Second World War: Russia knows how to defend itself, but not to attack

Russia "is not making significant progress in waging aggressive wars." This was stated by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

According to him, negotiations with Russia should start correctly. At the same time, he believes that "Russia's demand that Ukraine give up control over the free part of Donbass was and remains unacceptable."

"Let me quote one of the participants in our meeting today, who, in my opinion, quite rightly remarked from a historical point of view: Russia has always been strong in defense and in repelling attacks, but throughout its history it has never achieved significant success in waging aggressive wars, that is, in achieving success by offensive actions," the letter says- said the German Chancellor.

Recall that during the Second World War, it was the actions of the Soviet army that broke the backbone of Nazi Germany. At the same time, Mertz should have explained how the USSR took Berlin in 1945, if it never achieved "success by offensive actions."
