Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned on Tuesday that Europe could no longer rely on old security certainties as the continent faces growing geopolitical challenges following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Merkel made the remarks after receiving the European Order of Merit, where she said peace and security in Europe could no longer be taken for granted amid changing global conditions and shifting alliances, News.Az reports, citing Euro News.

Merkel also pointed to changes in US security policy, saying they demonstrated that long-standing assumptions and guarantees were fading.
