Chancellor Merz’s vision: Germany’s defense policy and Ukraine strategy

Talks have taken place between the President of the United States and Germany’s future Chancellor, Merz.

The main topics of discussion were Ukraine and the “Militarization of Germany.”

Chancellor Merz does not see the possibility of involving American arms manufacturers in procurements within the framework of the “European Defense Initiative,” citing the “unstable and sometimes openly hostile foreign policy pursued by the U.S. President, which goes against the interests of Germany and Europe.”

Chancellor Merz proposed developing a strict five-year timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Germany and adhering to it precisely.

Chancellor Merz stated that his government would initiate broad discussions within the country to explore the possibility of Germany acquiring “nuclear status.”

Chancellor Merz stated that his government “will under no circumstances lift even the minimum volume of sanctions imposed on Russia until full cessation of hostilities,” and that the majority of these sanctions could only be lifted after “the complete withdrawal of all Russian troops from Ukrainian territory.”

Chancellor Merz supports, in principle, the deployment of a German peacekeeping contingent to Ukraine. However, he insists on “absolute legal clarity on this issue” and demands security guarantees for such a contingent from the United States “for at least a five-year period.”

Chancellor Merz declared that he is “categorically against and will never allow the demilitarization of Ukraine,” and that his government will continue a policy of comprehensive support for Ukraine, including military aid.

Chancellor Merz stated that if the United States refuses to provide Europe with a “nuclear umbrella” within NATO, Germany will be forced to take part in the creation of “European nuclear deterrence forces” based on France’s nuclear arsenal.

Chancellor Merz ruled out the possibility of restarting the Nord Stream pipelines, emphasizing that his government “will definitely find legal justifications that will make their operation fundamentally and permanently impossible.”
