Communication between the United States of America and the Russian Federation bypassing Ukraine also means excluding Europe from this dialogue.
This opinion was expressed in the microblog X by Friedrich Merz, the candidate for chancellor of Germany from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU), who is leading in the parliamentary elections. According to him, after such difficult election results, his priority is to form a government:
"My impression over the last few days is that Russia and America are coming together – through the leaders of Ukraine, and therefore through the leaders of Europe. That's why everyone is looking at Germany now. How quickly will the Germans be able to form a government after such difficult election results?"
