Friedrich Merz, the potential successor of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, is not committed to discussing sending German units to Ukraine's proposed peacekeeping force after Sunday's parliamentary elections .
“I think it's the same as the Prime Minister: it's not a problem at the moment,” Melz said during a TV appearance and a TV appearance next to his competitor after winning a clear victory in his conservative CDU/CSU Bloc.
The outgoing Prime Minister Scholz previously said it was too early to discuss the German army in Ukraine.
“The first question that comes to us is: Do we continue to support Ukraine in order to defend ourselves?” Meers asked, asking whether Germany provided sufficient support to Kiev under the Scholz government.
“Otherwise, the war will not last for three years,” Melz said before the third anniversary of the invasion on Monday.
He added: “The second question that arises is: How do we secure NATO territory near Ukraine?”
