German Chancellor Merz on Friday urged the US president to avoid surprises regarding a potential US-Russia summit, calling for no negotiations over Ukraine without Kyiv and Europe's involvement. Speaking to reporters in Dublin, Merz referenced last August's US-Russia talks in Anchorage, Alaska, which discussed "territorial exchanges" without Ukraine present, expressing concern about a "second Anchorage" and urging action as part of "Team Europe" and "Team Ukraine." Merz's appeal comes amid speculation of an upcoming US-Russia meeting, as he emphasized the importance of including Ukraine and European allies in discussions concerning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
