Germany should hold talks with France and Britain and use its nuclear weapons to defend Ukrainian territory amid changing American rhetoric, - candidate for Chancellor of Germany from the Christian Democratic Union Merz
"We must prepare for the fact that Donald Trump will no longer fully fulfill his assistance obligations under the NATO treaty," Merz said on ZDF.
According to him, the French authorities have already turned to the German government several times with a proposal to discuss nuclear guarantees for Ukraine, but Berlin has not yet responded.
France and Britain have their own nuclear weapons, but the potential of the two countries is many times less than Russia's nuclear arsenal. Germany has American nuclear weapons and no nuclear weapons of its own, but in the event of war, the Luftwaffe bombers can use American nuclear missiles.
