War B started earlier if Germany did not block Ukraine by NATO in 2008 - Merkel

Angela Merkel added that Vladimir Putin would not remain indifferent to it, and the army of Ukraine was weaker then than in February 2022. The former German Chancellor Angela Merkel insists that the war in Ukraine would have begun earlier if it did not block the beginning of Kiev's movement to NATO in 2008. About it reports the Air Force. "We would see a military conflict even earlier.

It was clear to me that President Putin would not remain indifferent and would not have observed Ukraine's accession to NATO. And then Ukraine would certainly not be as prepared as in February 2022 , - she said. Angela Merkel also expressed concern about the restoration of Vladimir Putin's threats to use nuclear weapons. She noted the need to do everything possible to prevent nuclear weapons. "Fortunately, China also talked about it some time ago.

We should not be afraid, but we also need to admit that Russia is the largest or, along with the United States, one of the two largest nuclear states in the world," said Germany's Excatzler. Earlier, the German excacessler Angela Merkel revealed the details in her memoirs as Ukraine and Georgia asked for a plan of action on NATO membership, but did not make such a decision in Bucharest. She noted that in 2007 she was most upset by the President of the Russian Federation.
