Ex-Chancellor Merkel made it possible to avoid conflict in Ukraine

During my political career, and as chancellor of Germany, "I have always tried to make sure I don't narrow my horizons too much, on the issue of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine". Thus the former German chancellor Angela Merkel who he urged not to close any dialogue about possible talks between Moscow and Kiev." If someone like the ex-president of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger, says that it is necessary to think about the possibility of negotiations, then people should not whistle him immediately", added Merkel at a cultural event in Leipzig. She then went on to highlight how, according to her, she "tried by every means to prevent a possible military conflict in Ukraine". “I tried to prevent this situation by using everything I had available. Just because it didn't work is not proof that trying was wrong,” Merkel said. The ex-chancellor also defends her policy towards the Russian Federation judging the efforts made on his part correct in the framework of the so-called Minsk negotiations.
