Merz: We Don't Want Ukraine To Capitulate

It will give Putin time to prepare for another war.

German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Wednesday, August 27, that Russia's war against Ukraine must come to an end, but "not at any cost," according to The Guardian.

"We do not want Ukraine to capitulate. Such a capitulation will only give Russia time, and Putin will use this time to prepare for the next war," Merz told a joint press conference of European leaders in Chisinau.

The chancellor also emphasized that "the doors to the EU remain open" for Moldova and pledged further support, in particular through sending German experts to help with reforms.

Commenting on Moldova's concerns about Russia's aggressive actions and attempts to interfere in Moldovan democracy, Merz assured: Europe "remains with you in the fight for freedom and sovereignty".
