According to one translation

Quote:

"I thought that the introduction of NATO accession of Ukraine and Georgia, discussed in 2008, was wrong. The countries did not have the necessary prerequisites for this, nor was it fully understood what the consequences of such a decision would have been, both with regard to Russia’s actions against Georgia [NOTE: Georgia fired on S Ossetia first] and Ukraine, as well as NATO and its rules of assistance. And the Minsk Agreement of 2014 was an attempt to give Ukraine time.
Time to do what? In the context of Ukraine joining NATO, I can only assume that this means "time to become NATO- worthy"

Quote:

Ukraine used this time to become stronger, as you can see today. The Ukraine of 2014/15 is not the Ukraine of today.[2022] An illustrative example was the battle for Debaltseve. At the beginning of 2015, Putin could easily have overrun them at that time. And I very much doubt that the NATO countries could have done as much then as they do today to help Ukraine.


I find it instructive that western media doesn't quote Merkel in full on this topic, but only discusses it disjointed and in snippets, not allowing the full context to be analyzed. Every quote, however, clearly says that Germany had not come up to the 2% spending mark on NATO, and that Minsk gave Ukraine "time".

Hollande backs up Merkel revelation on Donbass peace

The reason why major western news outlets aren't cited is bc they don't appear in my search. It's as if Merkel's, Hollande's, and Poroshenko's words were never spoken.
