BIG | 🇩🇪🇺🇦🇷🇺‼️‼️ German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has sharply rejected the argument that Berlin could make itself safer from Russian hybrid attacks by abandoning Ukraine, calling the idea outright “stupidity.”
Merz pushed back against claims that ending German support for Kyiv might reduce threats such as the recent attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport. Germany has formally attributed that attempted drone attack to Russia and has reaffirmed that Ukraine can continue to rely on Berlin’s civilian and military assistance. The German government increasingly views such incidents as part of a broader Russian hybrid campaign aimed at intimidating European societies and weakening support for Ukraine.
Merz is right to reject the premise that appeasement would buy Europe security. Russia’s hybrid pressure is designed precisely to convince Western governments that supporting Ukraine carries unacceptable costs, and rewarding that strategy would only encourage further sabotage, cyber operations and attacks on critical infrastructure. Europe’s response has to move in the opposite direction by strengthening Ukraine while simultaneously hardening its own defenses and imposing real consequences on Moscow for operations conducted inside NATO territory.

⚡️Update: Zelensky, US envoys holding another round of talks with European officials.
Zelensky gifted the U.S. envoys T-shirts reading “Kyiv Regime” — a tongue-in-cheek reference to how Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov referred to the Ukrainian government a day earlier, a person familiar with the matter said.

Jared Kushner to Zelensky:
A lot of politicians get afraid of complex problems. President Trump always says the harder it is, it’s worthy, and you have to give it everything you have.
Trump is very determined to see an end to this war.
Hopefully, with this trip, we’ll come out with some new ways to advance forward. I think we’ve learned a lot from the trip.
I would want to thank you for your hospitality, and we look forward to continuing to make more progress together.
