Merz: Europe must have a seat at Ukraine peace talks

unian.ua (Ukrainian) —

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned that Europe must have a seat at the negotiating table as US President Donald Trump resumes talks on Ukraine, insisting key elements of any settlement require European participation. Merz sharply criticized the US decision to invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami, saying it excludes Ukraine from discussions about its own fate and that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky must be included in any talks. Merz said his government is providing additional aid to help Ukraine survive the winter and has invited European and international leaders to Berlin on November 19 to coordinate further military support and security guarantees for Kyiv.
