Merz: Russia has no chance of winning this war
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says that Russia has no chance of winning this war. He made the statement in Ankara on Wednesday upon arriving at the NATO summit.
"I am sure that from Ankara we will have a new spirit in NATO that will make NATO stronger, that will make NATO more united, and we will, of course, also discuss Ukraine. We will continue to help Ukraine. We have also launched a joint initiative in Europe for the next two years, 2026 and 2027, to provide Ukraine with UAH 70 billion annually. Now it is exclusively up to Russia to stop this war, and we will do everything in our power today to achieve this and send a clear signal to Moscow: Russia has no chance of winning this war," Merz said.
The German Chancellor expressed his conviction that Russians "will not achieve their military goals."
"The sooner we end this war, the better for Europe, the better for Russia, and the better for peace in the world," he emphasized.
