Merkel's party leader criticized Chancellor Scholz for delaying military aid to Ukraine.
In Germany, political opponents of Olaf Scholz have criticized the federal chancellor's delays amid discussions over the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine . In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the chairman of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Friedrich Merz, gave his own assessment of the actions of the current leadership of the country.
According to the leader of Germany's largest opposition party, the federal chancellor has been considering military aid for too long. Friedrich Merz agrees with the position of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany Annalena Burbock that “there are no more excuses” for delaying the necessary assistance to Ukraine.
CDU Chairman believes Scholz threatens “the unity of the whole community of states in relation to Russia.” Moreover, he is convinced that despite the recent scandal over the refusal to visit President Steinmeier, the Federal Chancellor should still pay a diplomatic visit to Ukraine.

“In my opinion, he should not have brought the case to the point that he was pushed He should have been there already, “said Friedrich Merz.
Interestingly, CDU leader Friedrich Merz himself criticized the Nord Stream-2 project and even called for a halt to the construction of the pipeline in connection with Putin's aggressive policies.
It will be recalled that German Ambassador Anka Feldgusen said that Germany slowed down the Nord Stream-2 project a few weeks before the war.
