Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba spoke about the political course of Angela Merkel when she served as Chancellor of Germany.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister considers Merkel’s position, which she adhered to 15 years ago, to be incorrect.
The Bild publication stated that the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated that the position of the former German Chancellor was partly the reason for the development of the current conflict.
Kuleba calls not to repeat the mistake that was made by Merkel when she did not promote Ukraine’s accession to NATO.
The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry believes that Merkel’s decision partially led to the annexation of Crimea to Ukraine.
If Kyiv had been in NATO in 2014, the conflict that began on February 24, 2023 might not have happened.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that “anti-Russia” had been created on the territory of the Ukrainian state for many years.
The Russian leader also recalled that Ukraine previously had a neutral status.
