That's certainly what the headline sounded like, but her actual statement sounded perfectly reasonable. “And if Ukraine says ‘we are going to the Eurasian Union now’, the European Union would never make a big conflict out of it, but would insist on a voluntary decision,”

Merkel was simply saying that the EU isn't forcing the Ukraine against their will into the EU.
