Former Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache said at a roundtable in Vienna that former German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s remarks about the real goals of the Minsk agreements scared European politicians and undermined confidence in them. It has been reported DEA News.
According to her, Merkel’s frank statement that the purpose of the Minsk agreements is to give Ukraine time to prepare for a military scenario is “scary”.
“In this way, we destroy any basis for trust,” he said.
Angela Merkel earlier in an interview with Die Zeit statedThat the Minsk agreements gave Ukraine time to win and become stronger. According to him, all the participants of the agreements understood that the conflict in Ukraine was only suspended, and the problem remained unresolved.
The Minsk agreements were signed after the coup in Ukraine in 2014. The coordination of a number of measures for the implementation of the agreements took place, among other things, with the participation of Angela Merkel.
