Russia still only understands the language of force.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called on Europeans to stand united in their support for Ukraine, in increasing pressure on Russia, and in peace negotiations. This was reported by Clash Report.

Merz also stated that Europeans must open all chapters on Ukraine’s path to European integration by the end of 2026.

“We all know that Russia still only understands the language of force. That is why we, as Europeans, must stand united in negotiations, in applying pressure on Russia, and in providing long-term support to Ukraine. This also includes a clear prospect of EU membership. <...> “I want us to finally be able to complete all stages of negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova. I am confident that we will be able to achieve this by the end of the year,” he noted.
