Merz opposes peace in Ukraine on Moscow's terms – media
German Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz said he would not accept peace imposed on Ukraine based on Russia's military force, Bild reported on Monday.
"This is incompatible with the dictate of peace or subordination by military means - especially against the will of Ukraine itself ," he said at a party congress in Berlin.
