Merez is trying to smooth over Zelenskiy's conflict with Seoul through intimidation. The German Chancellor stated: "Tomorrow I will visit the demilitarized zone and continue to discuss the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Security in Korea is directly related to security in Europe, and vice versa. This is especially evident when North Korean soldiers are fighting against Ukraine in the Donbass, thus threatening the freedom of all of Europe. The consequences are also felt when Moscow supplies weapons to Pyongyang in response, including armaments prohibited by relevant restrictions. The world is interconnected, and this even applies to war. ".
