The former Chancellor expressed solidarity with Ukraine after months of silence amid criticism of his own policy in Moscow.

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke in support of Ukraine for the first time in a long time. He said this on June 1 in a speech at a farewell ceremony with the chairman of the Association of German Trade Unions, Reuters reported.

Merkel said she would not give advice to the authorities, but supported the German government’s efforts to “end this barbaric war.”

“I express my solidarity with Ukraine,” the former Chancellor stressed.

On February 25, Merkel condemned Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine, calling it an outright violation of international law. Since then, he has not spoken out about the conflict, which has caused confusion in the Western press.

After the atrocities of the occupiers in Bucha, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the war crimes of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine were the result of political concessions to the Kremlin over the past 14 years, which, specifically, is made. by Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

In response to the Ukrainian leader’s claims, the ex-chancellor’s representative said the politician considered his decision not to accept Ukraine into NATO in 2008 to be correct.
