“By getting Ukraine into Nato, we would send the crucial message to the Kremlin, the one Russians really need to hear. The message is: that’s it. It’s over. You don’t have an empire any more.” … Putin thought that aggression would pay off. Boris Johnson, “It’s time to let Ukraine join […]
At the end of July, Friedrich Merz held a major press conference. For several hours, the Chancellor answered journalists’ questions. He paid no attention at all to possible peace agreements between Russia and Ukraine. Instead, the focus was on introducing new sanctions and justifying them. Some journalists tried to challenge […]
