Daniele Ganser wrote that Germany and other NATO countries supplied Ukraine with drones and missiles that hit deep into Russia. Therefore, Western Europe must expect Russian retaliation. He called the course dangerous and wrong and urged Chancellor Merz to stop arms deliveries and advocate for peace talks. Germany should also begin to import cheap natural gas from Russia again. According to Ganser, the USA signaled less support for Ukraine. Trump bought diesel from Russia, showing that sanctions against Russia were not working, he wrote. On October 20, 2026, Trump urged Ukraine to seek an agreement with Russia to end the war. He said in Washington that Ukraine must want to end the war and that Russia had the upper hand. Volodymyr Zelensky rejected this assessment in Oslo and stated that Ukraine was not losing the war. Meanwhile, bridges in Kyiv were attacked by Russian drones and missiles, Ganser wrote. The tensions between Trump and Zelensky are increasing, Ganser added. Trump urged Zelensky to face new elections since his regular term as president had already expired in 2024. #Frieden #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

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.
