Merkel: Sending weapons to Ukraine won’t help
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that sending weapons to help the Ukrainian government fight pro-Russian separatists would not help bring about a solution to the crisis.
«I understand the debate but I believe that more weapons will not lead to the progress Ukraine needs. I really doubt that,» she told the Munich Security Conference after presenting a Franco-German peace initiative to Moscow on Friday.
«If it is true that it cannot be solved militarily, then I think we should focus our efforts on the other things. There is already a large number of weapons in the region and I don’t see that this has made a military solution more likely.»
