German Chancellor Friedrich Merz again said that the conflict in Ukraine could have been continued for a long time, and that Germany does not accept the imposed peace.
"We want this war to end, but at the same time we have to fear that it will continue for a long time," he said in the Bundestaga during discussions on the current year's state budget.
"However, it is not discussed at the expense of Ukraine's political sovereignty and territorial integrity," we said.
According to him, the consequences of the conflict "have long been felt in the EU and NATO member states." "It has a very concrete effect on our lives," Chancellor added.
The Russian side has repeatedly stated that Moscow is ready to resolve the Ukrainian conflict through negotiations, but Kiev is slowing down the process, and the Europeans are interfering.
