US ready to be part of security guarantees for Ukraine, Germany's Merz says

The U.S. is ready to be part of security guarantees for Ukraine, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Saturday, a day after a summit in Alaska between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, APA reports citing Reuters.

"And the good news is that America is ready to participate in such security guarantees and is not leaving it to the Europeans alone," Merz told German public broadcaster ZDF after being briefed together with other European leaders by Trump on his talks with Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet Trump on Monday in Washington, after which a three-way meeting between Putin, Trump and Zelenskyy should be held as soon as possible with the aim of reaching a peace agreement, Merz said.

"If that works out, it's worth more than a ceasefire," he said.

Merz said Trump had indicated that Russia seemed ready to negotiate based on the front lines of the conflict, rather than the borders of Ukrainian regions it claims.
