Merz:. "I share Trump's hope that this war will end quickly

Merz:

"I share Trump's hope that this war will end quickly. And if it ends quickly, we'll also see a relatively quick return to normalcy in the oil and energy markets.

Therefore, from our perspective—and mine—there's no reason to consider easing sanctions against Russia. "

Between lifting sanctions and death, they'll choose death. It's better to help them than to interfere.
