In an interview cited by "Ukrainska Pravda," Angela Merkel emphasized that Russia cannot win this war.

"This is not only in Ukraine's interest, but also in our own, as we cannot allow Putin to win," stated the former German Chancellor.

Diplomatic solutions

Condemning the Russian invasion as a blatant violation of international law, Merkel noted that "diplomatic solutions must always be considered alongside military actions."

Merkel expressed the opinion that diplomatic talks should take place at the appropriate time, although she did not specify when that would be. She also confirmed her support for the German government's actions in aiding Ukraine, noting that defeating Russia will be a difficult task for Ukraine.
