I support fully Merkel, turning what is happening in Ukraine into a proxy war between 2 superpowers will make Ukrainians suffer even more. It’s true that everyone has a right to defend themselves but what Ukraine needs is a chance for peace and NO interference from both Russia and U.S. If the US provides weapons, Russia will continue providing weapons – it’s a vicious cycle. How about both sides start by signing and respecting a cease fire?
