U.S. and Germany Seek Peace Agreement in Ukraine
The German government’s spokesman, Stefan Kornelius, announced that the primary objective of Monday’s Oval Office visit is to facilitate information exchange between President Trump and German Chancellor Merz following Trump’s recent discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, reports 24brussels.
Kornelius emphasized that Chancellor Merz will reiterate the urgency of achieving a swift peace agreement in Ukraine during talks with other state leaders.
This meeting was convened by Trump after his Friday consultations with Putin, where the U.S. leader asserted that both parties reached consensus on several issues, although he did not provide specific details regarding a peace plan. Initially intended as a bilateral discussion with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, the U.S. administration has positioned it as a potential precursor to a tripartite negotiation involving Russia.
Diplomats revealed expectations that European leaders will join Zelenskyy to protect Ukraine’s interests and ensure that no critical boundaries are transgressed, preventing any forced territorial concessions in the pursuit of a settlement.
