"It will end in negotiation": Merkel spoke about the completion of the Russian-Ukrainian War
She stated this in an interview with the Italian edition of Sette. According to Merkel, all wars sooner or later end in negotiations. "There is a difference between the forced world, which I do not want, like many others, and open and friendly conversation," she said. Merkel also spoke about whether she does not consider herself responsible for the fact that Russia has begun an invasion of Ukraine. According to her, she was always guided by logic in her policy.
"I conclude that I made my decisions at the time, following the logic, which still seems to me reasonable," Merkel said. According to her, when the issue of Ukraine and Georgia's accession to NATO was discussed in 2008, the countries were not ready to become members of the Alliance. "The two countries did not have the necessary details. More, there were no thorough reflections on what consequences would have such a decision in terms of Russia's response and NATO," Merkel said.
It commented on the Minsk agreements, which she said to Ukraine to become stronger. "And I doubt that then NATO could have done so much to help Ukraine as it is doing today," Merkel said. The former Chancellor of Germany noted that everyone knew that the war in the Donbass after signing the Minsk agreements became a frozen conflict that was not over. Merkel called the issue of construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. According to her, then Russian gas was not issued such "devil".
