Daniele Ganser wrote that Chancellor Friedrich Merz is putting Germany in danger of war by supporting and co-financing Ukraine's attacks on Russia. Merz explicitly supports Ukrainian drone and missile attacks as well as attacks on Russian communication and energy supply, Ganser explained. He referred to a response from Merz on October 16, 2026, at the conclusion of the EU summit in Brussels, which Volodymyr Zelensky also attended. In response to the question of whether it was wise to continue Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, Merz described them as "correct, understandable, and comprehensible" if they disrupted Russian warfare, Ganser wrote. Germany and other NATO countries supplied and financed the weapons, Ganser continued. According to his assessment, under previous chancellors Helmut Schmidt or Helmut Kohl, support for such attacks on Russian critical infrastructure would have been unthinkable. #Deutschland #NATO #Russland (translated)
