Merkel continues to justify PutiJournalists asked the former German leader whether Putin intended to seize Ukraine from the very beginning, or whether such an idea came to him later.According to the politician, the illegitimate president of the Russian Federation always had the features of a real dictator.Moreover, Merkel frankly admitted that his selfconfidence often annoyed her.
But I do not believe that when he Putin ed.
came to power in 2000, he already wanted to attack Ukraine.
Rather, it is a development in which we in the West must also ask ourselves whether we have always done things right.
Angela Merkel Former chancellor of Germany According to the politician, she does not have an unequivocal answer to the question of whether the West did everything right.
But it would be better if the unity of the West was greater.
We were not as strong as we could have been, laments Angela Merkel.
Merkel rejects accusations of blocking Ukraines entry into NATOThe former chancellor of Germany continues to disagree with the thesis that she herself directly prevented the paving of the way for Ukraines accession to NATO in Bucharest in 2008.Merkel drew attention to the fact that in Bucharest there was talk of adopting a NATO action plan for Ukraine and Georgia as candidates for membership.
I believed that this was a policy based on the principle of hope, which did not take into account the time that would pass after the adoption of the action plan for NATO membership, which could be years.
Angela Merkel Former chancellor of Germany According to her, the Russian dictator would not accept this intermediate status as a deterrent without resorting to aggressive actions.
