The German chancellor stressed that any peace talks must be preceded by a ceasefire.

BERLIN: Ukraine must be part of any further talks following the planned meeting in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Wednesday.

“Ukraine must be at the table when follow-up meetings take place,” Merz said after an online conference with Trump and European leaders, adding that “a ceasefire must come first” before any peace negotiations.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky flew to Berlin on Wednesday and met Merz before they both joined other European leaders for talks with Trump ahead of his planned summit with Putin in Alaska on Friday.
