Friedrich Merz, the leader of the largest opposition party in Germany, called for Berlin to strengthen its support for Ukraine in its defense against Russia and to supply it with combat aircraft.
This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Deutsche Welle.
The leader of the Christian Democratic Union believes that Ukraine needs help to at least restore sovereignty over its own airspace.
"Because these missile attacks, which are now becoming more and more frequent, on infrastructure, on electricity and water supply facilities, on hospitals and nursing homes, cannot be controlled only from the ground," the German opposition leader explained.
He also added that the supply of combat aircraft to Ukraine is a settled issue in many countries, including the EU.
"We, the Germans, cannot stand aside," the politician said.-
