“The path is open” for more serious negotiations to be held on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said during a meeting with US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, APA reports citing CNN.
Merz said that Trump opened that path after the US president met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
“Now the way is open for complicated negotiations,” he said.
Merz reiterated that the European leaders are eager to see a ceasefire before more talks are held.
“I can’t imagine that the next meeting will take place without a ceasefire,” he said. “So let’s work on that.”
