Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has urged Ukraine and its supporters to explore, alongside other options, diplomatic pathways to ending the war initiated by Russia.
Merezhko was reacting to Merkel’s public appearances during the promotion of her new book, “Freedom,” in which she justified the decision to stop Ukraine’s accession to NATO in 2008, the Minsk agreements that led to freezing Moscow’s war in Ukraine for eight years and the controversial Russia-to-Europe Nord Stream gas pipelines.
