Chancellor Merz Condemns Russian Airspace Violations

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has denounced Russia's recent breaches of Polish and Romanian airspace, labeling them as part of a deliberate strategy to destabilize democratic societies led by President Vladimir Putin.

Addressing the Bundestag, Merz emphasized that any peace settlement in the ongoing Ukraine conflict must uphold Kyiv's political sovereignty and territorial integrity, without any imposed compromises.

Merz warned that a peace dictated by force, lacking genuine freedom, would only motivate Putin to set his sights on new targets, posing further risks to regional stability.
