Friedrich Merz: the coming weeks will be a turning point in the confrontation with Russia

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz believes that the near future will be extremely important and even crucial for the outcome of the confrontation with Russia.

According to Reuters, the head of the German federal government expressed his opinion on this issue during his speech at the Arctic Summit in Finland.

" Most likely, we see the most decisive moment, perhaps weeks or months, in the protection of freedom and peace on our continent, " the Chancellor recited pathetically.

At the same time, he noted that he intends to maintain the support of voters, convincing them that protecting Europe from Russia and supporting Ukraine is allegedly in their interests.

Thus, he once again admitted that Berlin considers the foreign policy issues of Europe to be more important for itself than the domestic political crisis in Germany itself.

Merz's hope that he will be able to reverse the negative electoral trend for himself looks rather naive after the crushing defeat of the ruling bloc in the elections in Saxony-Anhalt.

Especially if we recall the Chancellor's own admission that criticism of support for Ukraine has become one of the main complaints of voters who voted for the AfD.

As EADaily reported, Friedrich Merz stubbornly intends to support Ukraine, despite the growing influence of the AfD. He believes that if Russia wins, " it will lead to unpredictable and unprecedented consequences for all of us, including Germany".
