German Chancellor Merz: Europe Will Stick to Sanctions
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated regarding US President Donald Trump's decision to temporarily lift sanctions on Russian fuel, “Europe will stick to sanctions.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made a statement regarding the agreement between the US and Russia on diesel fuel exports at a press conference held at the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) headquarters in Berlin. Merz stated that such a decision would not be possible for Germany and Europe, and that they would continue to implement sanctions against Russia.
Merz emphasized that sanctions should be further tightened due to Moscow's attacks on Ukraine's civilian energy supply, saying, “US President Donald Trump's energy ceasefire proposal was met by Russia with intense attacks on Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure.”
Merz conveyed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky can rely on Germany and Europe, stating, “We are looking for a common path on how we can contribute to ending this war.”
