Germany, as friends of Ukraine, acknowledges potential risks involved in their support - Friends supporting Ukraine, like Merkel, acknowledge and accept potential hazards
The recent spat between US President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House left a sour taste in Angela Merkel's mouth. She openly expressed her discomfort, stating, "I wish I hadn't witnessed that meeting, given it was broadcast for all to see, even the Kremlin's leader, Vladimir Putin."
Since 2005, Merkel has been at the helm, navigating complex global issues. On the issue of the Ukraine war, she expressed, "It's inexcusable for Putin to invade another country." However, she emphasized the importance of understanding Russia's perspective, stating Putin craves recognition, particularly from America. This attitude, according to Merkel, is reminiscent of the Cold War era. For Putin, the significant players aren't Germany or the European Union, but rather the USA.

Angela Merkel, in her frank discussion about recent global affairs, criticized Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of understanding Russia's mindset while navigating complex international relations, a stance she likens to the Cold War era, where significant players were primarily the USA. Despite this, Merkel's political affiliation, the CDU, in Berlin, continues to participate in the peace process regarding Ukraine, disregarding any potential influence from Donald Trump's encounters with Volodymyr Zelensky.
