CDU rejects Trumps peace planPoliticians from the Christian Democratic Union of Germany party, led by future German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, have sharply criticized US President Donald Trumps peace plan for Ukraine.According to the publication, Trumps idea of imposing peace on Ukraine is forcing the future chancellor to act, even though he has not yet taken office.Merz, as journalists write, realizes that he will soon become a key player on the international stage regarding the Ukraine issue.
If the US refuses to support the country, Germany will have to supply even more weapons to Kyiv to compensate for the losses.It is noted that Merzs party members made it clear that the new government would remain on Ukraines side, despite Trumps pressure.A peace imposed on Ukraine is against Germanys interests.
It will encourage Russia to attack other countries with impunity.
It will encourage despots around the world to use wars to divert attention from domestic problems.
And this will cause refugee flows, from which Germany will be particularly affected, warned CDU/CSU foreign policy spokesman Jrgen Hardt.He cited projections that an estimated 58 million Ukrainians will be forced to leave their country due to fears that under Russian occupation they will be subjected to torture, forced labor, and the abduction of their children.
There can be no just peace without the participation and consent of Ukraine.
His position is shared by the parliamentary manager of the CDU/CSU faction, Thorsten Frei, who emphasized that it is Ukraine that should evaluate proposals for a possible ceasefire or even peace.We should not anticipate Kyivs assessment.
The goal should be a viable and lasting solution.
