The German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, has stated that any effort to relax sanctions against Russia is a mistake. This comment follows a decision by the United States to grant a 30-day waiver allowing countries to acquire sanctioned Russian oil and petroleum products currently held at sea. During a press conference in Norway, Merz voiced his opposition to the move while standing alongside his Norwegian counterpart.
"We believe that is wrong."
