Merkel warns ‘no military solution’ to Ukraine conflict
BERLIN, Nov 29, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel said
Thursday there is “no military solution” to the Ukraine conflict after
President Petro Poroshenko asked for NATO naval support in his country’s
standoff with Russia.
Blaming Russia for the tensions, Merkel said: “We ask the Ukrainian side
too to be sensible because we know that we can only solve things through
being reasonable and through dialogue because there is no military solution
to these disputes”.
