Diplomatic Negotiations with Partners Inspire Hope for Peace in Ukraine — Merz

In Kyiv and other key Ukrainian cities, active diplomatic dialogues are ongoing, sparking hopes for an improvement in the situation and the possibility of peaceful conflict resolution.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently stated that negotiations with Berlin’s colleagues and partners are unfolding in an exceptionally positive atmosphere.
This indicates the efforts of the international community and offers Ukraine optimism for stabilizing the situation and restoring peace within its borders.
The broad scope of diplomatic contacts involves crucial discussions aimed at future peaceful settlement of the conflict.
Merz also emphasized that European countries and the United States remain steadfast in their support for Ukraine and its sovereignty.
Specifically, he highlighted recent talks in Washington, where discussions about potential new sanctions against Russia took place, reflecting the West’s firm stance supporting Ukraine.
Special attention is given to the forthcoming meeting of former U.S.
President Donald Trump in Alaska, which Merz suggests could serve as a signal to Russia.
He stressed that Europeans and Americans are doing everything possible to ensure that this meeting proceeds appropriately and contributes to peace efforts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the support of the U.S.
and their readiness to guarantee Ukraine’s security and assist in ceasefire efforts, which sent an important message to the international community.
Reports indicate that a summit involving Trump, Zelensky, and Putin could take place soon, potentially significantly impacting regional developments.
