Munich, Germany--German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Saturday she opposes the idea of Western weapons deliveries to Ukraine, saying that more arms won't resolve the conflict.

"I think that the progress Ukraine needs won't be achieved with even more weapons. I am very, very doubtful," she said, adding that "there are a lot of weapons in the region" already.

"I am of the firm conviction that there is no military solution to the conflict," she told the Munich Security Conference.
