Merz came to Kyiv despite threats from the Russian Federation: what is changing in support for Ukraine and whether he brought Taurus. Interview with Kotov
Friedrich Merz’s visit to Kyiv took place at one of the most dangerous moments of recent months. The German chancellor arrived in the Ukrainian capital on 4 October, when Russia stepped up air strikes and effectively showed that the presence of a Western leader is no longer a reason for Putin to hold back strikes. This moment is important not only from the standpoint of the chancellor’s personal security.
Illya Kotov, Candidate of Sciences in Public Administration and head of the Center for the Development of State Strategy and Public Policy, shared his thoughts on these and other issues in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA.
