Germany confirmed as participant in upcoming Ukraine peace talks

20min.ch (German) —

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Germany is confirmed as a participant in upcoming peace talks to end the Ukraine war, with European representation expected in negotiations within the next few weeks. Merz made the remarks Friday in Dublin at an EU leaders' meeting, saying Germany's participation is "completely clear." This contrasts with Kremlin statements, as Russia has not yet agreed to European involvement in US-mediated talks. Ukrainian President Zelensky said the next negotiation round may occur in Switzerland or the UAE, following talks in Abu Dhabi. A major prisoner exchange involving over 1,000 people is also being prepared.
