Summit Usa Russia
Merz: Fast peace agreement better than ceasefire
Actually, the United States and Europeans wanted to move Russia at the summit in Alaska in Alaska in Ukraine. There is no longer any talk of that now. Chancellor Merz defends this turn.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz considers peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia without prior ceasefire – provided that there is quickly an agreement. “If this succeeds, it is more value than a ceasefire that may last for weeks-without further progress in the political, diplomatic efforts,” said the CDU chairman in a ZDF interview.
Before the meeting of US President Donald Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, the federal government and other European governments insisted on the beginning of a peace process in Ukraine. Trump had also represented this position. But he gave them up as he made clear after the summit.
Attacks on Ukraine during the summit are “disrespectful”
The Russian side was obviously not ready for an armistice, said Merz. He criticized that Russia had further attacked Ukraine during the conversation between Trump and Putin. “That, I think, is a special disrespect.”
Trump informed the most important European heads of state and government in the morning about his conversation with Putin. It was also about possible territorial concessions to Russia, said Merz. Russia seems ready to lead the negotiations along the current front line and not along the administrative borders, Merz reported in the ZDF interview. “That is a huge difference.” So far, Russia has made claims to areas that have not occupied it militarily.

In conversation with Putin, Trump did not question one of the five key points previously defined by the Europeans and Selenskyj. “This is a good result,” said Merz. So there are no territorial negotiations between Trump and Putin across the heads of Ukraine and the Europeans. The fact that the United States is ready to participate in security guarantees for Ukraine is also good news.
