Merz Finds Russian Use of Orechnik Hypersonic Missiles ‘Reckless’

Look at who is complaining. Having endorsed and promoted for some time the NATO/Ukrainian use of long-range missiles and drones against Russia, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is now charging Russia with firing Oreshnik hypersonic missiles in retaliation for Kiev’s attack on the Starobelsk youth school, as “a reckless escalation.” But Merz refuses to learn a lesson: on X he pledged full continued support to Ukraine. This is the direct way to invite Russian missile strikes against German targets next.
