Germany supported the provision of weapons to Ukraine

Newly elected chairman of the CDU party Friedrich Merz

Ukraine’s requests for lethal weapons to defend its territory are “no doubt legitimate,” said Merkel’s future CDU successor.

The future chairman of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany, Friedrich Merz, spoke in favor of providing Ukraine with lethal weapons for self-defense. He said this in an interview with a German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

He said that Ukraine’s requests for lethal weapons to defend its territory “are undoubtedly legitimate given the massive deployment of Russian troops on its eastern border.”

Merz also acknowledged the need to give “a clear and decisive response to Putin” to his actions – right up to the question of helping Ukraine to obtain defense weapons to counter this threat.

Last week it became known that in the struggle for the post of leader of the CDU, which until recently was Angela Merkel, following the results of an internal party “referendum” defeated Friedrich Merz… The voting results must be approved at the CDU party congress in January 2022.

We will remind, on the eve of the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the new German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had a telephone conversation, during which they discussed the situation around Ukraine.
