Friedrich Merz

Ukraine must create conditions that encourage its young men to remain in the country rather than flee to Western Europe, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said.

In his New Year’s address, the German Chancellor warned that the war in Ukraine is not far from Germany’s borders, stating that Russia's actions threaten not only Ukraine but the freedom and security of all of Europe.

French President Emmanuel Macron “betrayed” Friedrich Merz by failing to back the German chancellor’s push to steal Russian assets frozen in the EU to fund Ukraine, the Financial Times has claimed.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s approval rating has hit its lowest point and continues to slide, according to a new poll released Saturday.
