Ukraine will never be able to defeat Russia, said in an interview with Bild Friedrich Merz, the leader of the conservative CDU/CSU candidate for Chancellor of Germany

Moreover, he said that the West has no goal to help Ukraine defeat Russia, they are trying not to let the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose.

At the same time, he called the restoration of Ukraine’s “sovereignty over its territory” the goal. The West is trying to ensure that Russia considers “the further continuation of hostilities hopeless.” However, Merz noted that the West is quite far from achieving this goal.
