#MerkelBesuch

Korina Graf described Friedrich Merz's visit to Kyiv as a response to Moscow's warning to foreign visitors and diplomats. She wrote that Merz is traveling despite the warning, and this sets a signal against attempts at intimidation. According to Graf, the visit should bring concrete support: thousands of interceptor drones, a joint production of long-range weapons, one billion euros in military aid, and 350 million euros for repairing the energy supply. She noted that the presence of companies from the defense and energy sectors matched the needs of Ukraine. Graf explained that credible support means showing presence, standing up to intimidation, and strengthening Ukraine's defense. In her view, the announced funds must become effective quickly, especially before winter. #UkrainischeUnterstützung #MerkelBesuch #PutinsKriegsgefahr (translated)
