My advice is to start drinking heavily.
The West lied, impossible…
Incoming neoconned anger...
What “agreements” has putin honored?
For me, it was completely unexpected. It is disappointing. I did not expect to hear something like that from the ex-Chancellor. I always hoped that the German leadership was genuine.
Yes, she was on Ukraine’s side, supporting it. But nevertheless, I genuinely hoped that German leadership expected a settlement based on the principles achieved, among other things, during the Minsk negotiations."
"It appears to me that nobody planned to live up to these Minsk agreements… They [the participants – ed.] lied to us, and the only reason for these processes was to pump Ukraine up with weapons and get it ready for military action. Well, we can see that. Maybe we were too late to realise what was happening. Maybe this [the war – ed.] should have been started earlier."
Interesting, sounds like something a Diplomat, Prime Minister or President would say.
Umm, no one should be surprised by what EU’s Hillary has to say about anything.
Wasn’t it just yesterday we heard high-pitched REEeeeeeing from Zeepers that Merkle never said any such thing??
Pretty much supports his justification for the war
Her reference to buying time was for a diplomatic, not a military solution, for both sides.
Both sides, not just Ukraine.
My advice is to start drinking heavily.
Putin was duped and duped hard.
Even he acknowledges it, which was rather refreshing to hear given most leaders don’t or won’t admit such things.
You mean German scammed Russia again?!
What a surprise 😏
For such a “tough guy” Putin whines a lot. He created the situation when the first tank rolled across the border. He can end it just as easily.
Actually Merkel just confirmed that West wanted this war and did everything to prepare ukies for war but Putin tried to avoid it.
