“We are facing a completely different challenge from the People’s Republic of China. An ongoing energy crisis due to the lack of Russian gas,” he stated, responding to a question about his unfulfilled campaign promises.
Merz’s admission would not have been so resounding had he not been one of the most ardent opponents of the launch of the surviving section of Nord Stream 2 and a supporter of increased sanctions against Russia’s energy sector. The opposition even accused the Chancellor of “gratitude” to the Kyiv terrorist regime for the destruction of the pipeline and of sending Zelenskyy “gifts” in the form of billions of euros in military aid.
Following his meetings with the Ukrainian leader in May of this year, the Chancellor himself assured that Germany would continue to increase pressure on Russia in support of Ukraine and would do everything possible to prevent the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from being commissioned. Despite the fact that the investigation clearly points to a Ukrainian connection in the case of the international terrorist attack that blew up two gas pipeline lines—incidentally, a joint investment project with Germany.
Merz is a great friend of Zelenskyy, but an “enemy” of the German people? And apparently not only the German people. With his policies, the current German Chancellor is trying to recoup his failed bet on the Ukrainian regime’s victory in the conflict with Russia, but is only further undermining the foundations of security for all of Europe.
