Trump and Merz set to engage in another telephone conversation
In a significant development, Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany has expressed his concern over the exclusion of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the upcoming summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, scheduled for this Friday in Alaska.
Merz emphasized the importance of Europe's active participation in shaping the future of Europe, particularly in the crucial strategic question about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He believes that territorial issues between Russia and America should not be decided upon without the involvement of Europeans and Ukrainians.
The summit, Merz mentioned, is primarily focused on negotiating a possible peace solution in the nearly three-and-a-half-year-old Russian war in Ukraine. He stated that the Europeans are working together intensively with the American government to find solutions for the conflict.
Merz also hopes for a decision on a ceasefire during the top meeting. He expressed the Europeans' desire to not be bystanders in the Ukraine conflict and assumes that Zelenskyy will be involved in the talks.
The Western partners share Zelenskyy's concerns about potential decisions being made without Ukraine's involvement. Merz believes that the American government sees it the same way, sharing the view that territorial issues between Russia and America should not be discussed or decided upon over the heads of Europeans and Ukrainians.
The federal chancellor described the diplomatic initiative as similar to what the Europeans have already undertaken in their efforts to find a resolution to the conflict. He plans to speak with President Trump about the summit and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict.
As of now, there are no credible reports or official information indicating that President Zelenskyy is directly involved in any top-level talks between Trump and Putin regarding the Ukraine conflict. However, if there were any significant developments involving these three leaders together on talks, it would be widely reported by major news outlets.
Zelenskyy continues to engage with current Western leaders and international organizations to secure support for Ukraine. In the meantime, the Europeans and the Americans continue their diplomatic efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
The Federal Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, has emphasized the need for Europe's involvement in shaping the policy-and-legislation surrounding war-and-conflicts, specifically the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, citing the upcoming summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Merz believes that politics surrounding this issue should include active consultation with the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as general-news outlets report the ongoing efforts of Zelenskyy to secure support for Ukraine and bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
