German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz believes that only the head of the German government can gather European countries about conflict in Ukraine.

If the German Prime Minister does not do this job to ensure the European protest, take care of such issues and peace-there is a cohesion at the European level if the German Prime Minister does not do this, no one will do more in Europe.
If Germany is now ready to lead in Europe, if Europe is holding each other, then we will have the opportunity to hear. After that, we can promote our own interests, he added.
Earlier, Mertz said that Germany had saved the North Atlantic Alliance from decay by eliminating cost restrictions on defense needs.
As the National Assembly's newspaper wrote, the Telegraph, cited the communist documents, said that alliance nations in the summit, held in Hague from June 24 to 25, pledged to send 5% of GDP to defense by 2035.
