Friedrich Merz, head of Germany's CDU, accused US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance of deliberately escalating tensions against Ukrainian President Zelensky during a recent Oval Office meeting. Merz expressed surprise at the tone of the dialogue, which he characterized as aligning with Russian rhetoric. He emphasized the need for Europe to reassess its security policies in light of recent developments and prepare for greater responsibilities in ensuring its own security in the future. His remarks signal a shift in focus for European leaders amidst escalating geopolitical tensions.
It was not a spontaneous reaction to interventions by Zelensky, but obviously a manufactured escalation in this meeting in the Oval Office.
I am in favour of preparing for the fact that in the coming years and decades we will have to do much, much more for our own security.
