Supporting Ukraine is in Germany’s interests and in the interests of the common future of the countries, Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz said as he took part in the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome (URC2025).
“We stand firmly on the side of Ukrainians. We also support them in our own interests: for the sake of our common political order of freedom in Europe, freedom of markets, economic growth and our energy security. Germany’s future is closely linked to Ukraine,” Merz wrote on social media platform X on Thursday.
