“The blows speak for themselves”: Merz suspected a connection between Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and Putin’s conversations with Trump

04.07.2025

German Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz sees a connection between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s phone call with US President Donald Trump and the subsequent massive airstrikes on Ukraine. Merz has noticed a certain pattern in Putin’s behavior, and the latest Russian air attack on Ukraine has once again confirmed his opinion.

This was stated by government spokesman Stefan Cornelius at a briefing in Berlin on Friday, July 4. He was quoted by Tagesschau.

“The Chancellor has repeatedly stated the other day that the Russian leader has a certain pattern of behavior: telephone conversations are usually accompanied by even harsher attacks,” Cornelius said.

He added that Russia’s strikes on Ukraine last night only confirmed this impression.

“The massive strikes on Ukraine after Putin’s phone call with Trump speak for themselves,” the spokesman noted.

Cornelius also expressed hope that these attacks would spur decision-making regarding Russia, including sanctions.

So far, US President Donald Trump has not accepted the European Union’s convincing proposals to tighten sanctions against Russia, the publication noted.

  1. This attack is the vampire’s middle finger in the orange bastard’s face. Will the orange bastard take offense by it? Or, will he stick it into his mouth and suck on it profusely?
    I’ve never been so disgusted by a president as by this gangster.

  2. Merz: the first ethical German Chancellor since : ever.
    We are counting on you sir.

    • Merz is the best leader Germany ever had since Adenauer, he will help us i’m convinced.

    • Germany’s army compared to the Scandinavian Armed Forces is piss poor. They will never catch up within any forseeable time and are afraid of retaliation. There’s also fierce resistance in the Bundestag to send these weapons.
