Friedrich Merz: “It is totally immoral for Schröder to be celebrating with Putin.”

Wir haben den mehrjährigen Finanzrahmen, den EU-Haushalt, ganz oben auf der Tagesordnung.

We experience attacks every day, for example, on our data networks. We see the damage and destruction of submarine cables … We have a completely different dimension and a completely different transition between peace and war.

Putin alone is responsible for the war in Ukraine and his orders cause unspeakable suffering, civilian casualties, families torn apart, and deaths and injuries every day.
