German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Wednesday, 9 July, that «diplomatic means» to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian war have been exhausted.
He said this during the budget debate in the Bundestag and promised further German assistance to Ukraine.
«We have to soberly assess the current threatening situation. We have to make important decisions. We will continue to help Ukraine, even despite the resistance of the pro-Russian right-wing here in this parliament. We will continue this support,» Friedrich Merz assured.
The German Chancellor emphasised: «means and resources of diplomacy are exhausted».
«The means and resources of diplomacy are exhausted when a criminal regime openly questions the right to existence of an entire country by using military force and seeks to destroy the political order of freedom on the entire European continent. The federal government I lead will do everything in its power to prevent this from happening,» Friedrich Merz stressed.
As a reminder, Czech President Petr Pavel said that after the parliamentary elections in October, the country could not guarantee continued military support for Ukraine. He did not rule out a possible change in government policy towards Kyiv.
