Russia was considered the culprit of the influx of refugees to Europe

The Russian leadership was considered the culprit of the influx of refugees to Europe. This statement was made by the candidate for the post of leader of the ruling party of Germany "Christian Democratic Union" (CDU) Friedrich Merz. According to Merz, it is precisely this that bears responsibility for the "barbaric military actions" on the part of the army.
