Chancellor Merz hoped for peace in Ukraine before the meeting between Trump and Putin German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hopes for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine in light of the upcoming meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Budapest. The head of the German government made a corresponding statement in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
Merz expressed the opinion that if the 20-point settlement plan in the Gaza Strip becomes a successful model of the Trump administration’s foreign policy, then the American president will continue to pay attention to the Ukrainian issue and make efforts to end the conflict. The chancellor also noted that planned talks between Trump and Putin in the Hungarian capital further strengthen these optimistic expectations.
Earlier, a telephone conversation took place between the leaders of Russia and the United States, during which Trump noted the achievement of “significant progress” in the dialogue and confirmed preparations for a future personal meeting with the Russian president.
