Merz: EU to tighten sanctions despite Russia-US diesel deal

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the agreement between Russia and the US on diesel exports is unacceptable for Germany and Europe. He emphasized that Russia only negotiates under pressure, necessitating stricter sanctions following Moscow's attacks on Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure.

Kiev can count on Berlin

Merz confirmed continued support for Zelensky and Ukraine. He noted his recent visit to Kiev and announced that EU leaders will meet in Brussels this Thursday and Friday to work toward a just peace ensuring Ukrainian freedom and European security.
