Contact groups to help Ukraine should be sustained – Merz
Contact groups to help Ukraine should be sustained and this common strategy should be continued.
This was stated by German chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, Censor.NET reports with reference to Interfax-Ukraine.
"This strategy (of assistance - Ed.) cannot take place only in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, this strategy can only be developed jointly. These contact groups must be sustained. First, politically," he explained.
According to Merz, this work should be done with US President-elect Donald Trump, as well as on maintaining unity between Germany and Britain.
