German Chancellor Merz to declare National Emergency to tackle illegal immigration; reports suggest
Reports emerged that a National Emergency will soon be declared in Germany to tackle the issue of illegal immigration.
The German government has denied reports claiming Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared a national emergency to tighten border controls.
Officials confirmed that Article 72 of the EU Treaty has not been triggered, despite media speculation.
Interior Minister Dobrindt did announce stricter border checks and increased migrant rejections, sparking criticism from EU neighbors and legal experts.
Russia has issued a stark warning to Germany over its decision to lift restrictions on supplying long-range weapons to Ukraine. Moscow’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu threatened a “massive response” if Germany delivers Taurus missiles, calling it a move that risks direct war. Following Zelensky’s meeting with Chancellor Merz, speculation grows around German involvement. While Germany promises support in developing Ukraine’s missile capability, Russia labels the move dangerous and provocative, with some warning it could ignite a wider conflict.

Speculation is rising after Ukrainian President Zelensky met German Chancellor Merz to discuss acquiring German-made Taurus missiles—highly lethal, long-range weapons capable of striking deep into Russia. Ukraine faces challenges operating this advanced technology without German support, which could delay deployment by years. If used soon, Moscow may accuse Germany of direct involvement, risking Russian retaliation including deployment of Oreshnik strike complexes. Russian media warns Germany against provoking escalation that could spark a wider conflict.

Russia has issued a sharp rebuke to Germany, invoking its Nazi past and warning against its large-scale rearmament and NATO’s expansion. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the military buildup near Russia’s borders "alarming," accusing Germany of fueling instability. As Berlin passes a $550B military fund and lifts missile restrictions with allies, Moscow warns of dire consequences. Lavrov also reignited rhetoric about “denazification,” framing Germany’s actions as provocative amid high-stakes talks between Zelensky and German Chancellor Merz.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Berlin to meet Chancellor Friedrich Merz and President Steinmeier, seeking vital military aid including Taurus cruise missiles with a 500km range. While Merz has shown support for missile deliveries—unlike his predecessor—approval remains uncertain amid coalition tensions. Zelensky aims to secure weapons that could enable Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territory. Germany, Ukraine’s top European defense donor, is navigating a delicate balance as U.S. support wavers, with calls for a united European response and tougher sanctions if no ceasefire emerges.

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently.

A senior EU official claims President Trump is hesitating to confront Vladimir Putin over Ukraine, prioritizing a potential diplomatic reset with Russia over ending the war. Despite condemning Russia’s missile attacks, Trump has avoided authorizing major sanctions. Sources told Politico that Trump is calculating the cost of straining ties with Moscow. As Ukraine braces for more strikes, Trump eyes upcoming Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul before deciding his next move—raising fears in Brussels that the U.S. may abandon Kyiv in pursuit of a broader deal with Putin.

Russia accuses Serbia of secretly supplying arms to Ukraine via NATO states, undermining its declared neutrality in the war. Russian intelligence alleges Serbian ammunition is reaching Kyiv through intermediaries in Czechia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Africa. Reports claim over $855 million in Serbian arms have flowed to Ukraine since 2024. While Serbia denies direct involvement, officials admit weapons may appear via third parties. As Belgrade balances EU aspirations and ties with Moscow, the controversy risks straining its geopolitical tightrope.
