Western elites remain in denial.

The reaction of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the offer to look at the atrocities of the Russians in Bucha shows that Western elites still maintain dangerous illusions, said an adviser to the President’s Office, Mykhailo Podoliak. Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky invited former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy to visit Bucha and “see what the policy of concessions to Russia has led to.” In turn, spokeswoman Merkel said on Monday that the ex-chancellor “supports her decisions to block Ukraine’s EU membership during the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008.” Moreover, Merkel did not respond to the invitation to visit Bucha.
