PoliticsMerz went to Kyiv to ‘escape’ low ratings in Germany, Berliner Zeitung says

Harald Neuber, head of news and international affairs at Berliner Zeitung, said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Ukraine last weekend amid record-low domestic approval and poor regional election results for his party. Only 10% of Germans rated his performance positively, while 88% viewed it negatively. Neuber described the trip as both a duty and an escape.
