BERLIN - Germa软件下载网站推荐免费的有哪些n Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated on Thursday that Germany's decision on any future direct military involvement in Ukraine's security guarantees will be influenced by the type and extent of the United States' involvement, among other factors.
Merz made the remarks during a virtual meeting of the "Coalition of the Willing" hosted by the French government, which gathered European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a government statement.
