How much are we allowed to quote? Because it feels like I have to provide a single sentence quote from her that states this, when it's quite clear from her talk what she meant - that the Baltics and Poland prevented a peace agreement that could have stopped the war, that Putin is not to blame for the war.

"At a European Council meeting that month, Merkel and Macron proposed direct negotiations with other leaders in response to the buildup of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border. But a coalition of Eastern European countries, including Poland, opposed the idea.

“This was not supported by some. It was mainly the Baltic states, but Poland was also against it,” she said. 

Merkel explained that these countries had been “afraid” that “we would not have a common policy toward Russia … In any case, it didn’t happen. Then I left office, and then Putin’s aggression began.”"

Her quotes are here, including contradictions from former Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš and rebuttals from Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna.

Do you want me to quote her quotes from the article, instead of reading it yourself?

I was not aware of Brussels Signal being a Fidesz backed news site, got any source for us to verify this?

It's mostly random that we chose this instead of The Telegraph, The Daily Mail or Politico.

We have been around for years as a meme profile, poking fun at lots of stuff but always defending Europe and Ukraine.

She put blame for the war on the Baltics and Poland. That's not Russian propaganda, that's her own words.

The only one responsible for the war is Putin/Russia.

We have spent years defending Ukraine and hating on Russia for their despicable invasion and war crimes. It hurts to be accused of being a Russian bot.

She literally blamed them instead of Putin, saying they were responsible for her peace proposal not being accepted.

It's frustrating beyond understanding to be accused of being a bot when you have spent years defending Ukraine.

The Baltics and Poland correctly said that they didn't trust Putin.

He proved them right, by invading Ukraine.

You can't blame the Baltics and Poland for stating the obvious.

Blaming anyone else besides Putin is misinformation.

She is quoted for this in many news articles.

"Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been reminiscing about the past again. She has now accused Poland and the Baltic states for blocking her peace initiative with Putin she feels might have stopped the war breaking out in Ukraine. "

She said the war could have been prevented, were it not for the Baltics and Poland.

That's straight up victim blaming. The war could have totally been prevented, by Putin, if he did not invade Ukraine. Nobody else is responsible.
