The secret plan of the German Chancellor: How does Merz intend to distract Russia?

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is taking a new and unexpected approach to relations with Russia. One of the most influential German publications, Junge Welt, published an extensive analytical article about this. According to the publication, Merz's political move, called "strategic ambiguity", may be aimed primarily at putting pressure on Moscow and distracting from its clear plans.

After the formation of the new federal government headed by Chancellor Merz, he completely stopped disclosing information about the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The Chancellor explained this decision as "strategic ambiguity". According to him, this political method should leave the Russian side in the dark due to the lack of information about the number and capabilities of weapons belonging to Ukraine, and thereby force Moscow to act cautiously.

However, some political experts and analysts note that this tactic of the Chancellor is reminiscent of the previous actions of French President Emmanuel Macron. It is known that Macron also wanted to achieve a favorable result in negotiations with Russia using the method of strategic ambiguity, but this move ended in failure and damaged France's international political reputation.

According to the publication, Merz may make a similar mistake by repeating Macron's path. This not only risks lowering Germany's reputation on the international stage, but also harms Berlin's position as a reliable partner. In particular, such ambiguity can increase political tensions and force Russia to act more sharply and cautiously.

At the same time, this ambiguity can lead to the worst-case scenario for Russia. In particular, there is a possibility that Germany will deliver TAURUS cruise missiles to Ukraine. If such powerful weapons are delivered, Moscow may be forced to react sharply and harshly to this fact. This is not unlikely to create serious threats to European security.

Thus, it is difficult to predict what the outcome of this secret and vague plan of the German Chancellor will be. However, this topic is being hotly discussed in international political circles, and experts are watching what Merz's actions will lead to in the next stages. What consequences this step of Germany will have in international politics will soon become clear.
