⚔️ Trump compared the war to a fight between two children “brawling like crazy in a park” who need time to stop. He also admitted being shocked by satellite images of the battlefield.
🩸 “There are bodies everywhere — arms, heads, legs. You have never seen anything like this. It’s just senseless,” said the U.S. president.
🔫 Merz stressed that it is russian weapons targeted against Ukraine, while Ukrainian weapons are aimed only at military objectives, without affecting civilians or infrastructure. This difference is key.
🤝 The Chancellor added that Trump is a “key figure” to end the war by applying pressure on russia.
🌍 “We both agree on how terrible this war is and are looking for ways to end it quickly. I told the president — he has huge influence to do this through pressure on russia,” Merz noted.
