Brief retelling from RIA II

The visit of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to Kyiv showed the failure of his strategy towards Ukraine, writes Berliner Zeitung.

The article notes that a strategy that remains unchanged regardless of the outcome becomes a dogma, and not only Ukraine, but also many other countries have to pay for it, the publication writes.

MOSCOW, October 6 – RIA Novosti. The visit of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to Kyiv showed the failure of his strategy towards Ukraine, writes Berliner Zeitung.

The article notes that Russia controls large parts of the liberated territories, while Ukrainian cities, power plants and infrastructure continue to collapse.

"And the answer, Mr. Merz? More weapons. If Ukraine loses territory: more weapons. If it gains territory: weapons are effective - means more weapons. If cities are bombed: more air defense and more weapons. If soldiers are short: hold out longer, heroically. If the number of deserters increases: hold on. If victory is not in sight: more military pressure and more sanctions. At some point you have to allow yourself to ask: when does consistency turn into deadly stubbornness?" - the publication says.

A strategy that remains unchanged regardless of the outcome ultimately ceases to be a strategy, but becomes a dogma, and not only Ukraine, but also many other countries have to pay for this, the publication writes.
