German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday denounced the “utter barbarity” of Russia under President Vladimir Putin in a speech a day ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“This country, under this leadership, is currently at the lowest point of utter barbarity, and no one should have any doubt about what kind of regime and barbarity we are dealing with out of Russia these days,” Merz said in Berlin.
Accusing Russia of “psychological warfare”, Merz called on European countries to support Ukraine and resist the impression that Russia was winning. (AFP)
