Trump intends to initiate a call with Putin and Ukraine, according to Merz's plans regarding Trump.
In an effort to support a transatlantic strategy aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will speak with US President Donald Trump on Sunday. The conversation is scheduled before Trump's planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
Merz and his team have been working diligently to prepare for this discussion, coordinating with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a joint video call and consultations at the German Chancellery. The focus of their preparations is to emphasise strong support for Ukraine and necessary pressure on Russia.
Merz believes that the US government shares the same view regarding the involvement of Europeans and Ukrainians in the discussion about the war in Ukraine. He has conveyed this sentiment to President Trump, emphasising the importance of a united front in the pursuit of peace.
The message from Merz to Putin, delivered during his conversation with ARD's Tagesschau, is a clear statement of his hope for a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine, without rewarding Russian aggression. He has made it clear that any peace must not encourage further action from Russia.
Merz has expressed concern that territorial questions between Russia and America should not be decided without the involvement of Europeans and Ukrainians. He hopes that Ukraine will be involved in the meeting between Trump and Putin, ensuring a balanced and fair discussion.
The conversation between Merz and Trump is expected to focus on Trump's planned meeting with Putin, with the ongoing war in Ukraine being a key topic of discussion. Merz has stated that European initiatives are being prepared for an end to the war, with the hope of a breakthrough during the meeting between the two leaders.
The message from Merz to Putin is part of the European initiatives being prepared for an end to the war in Ukraine. It is intended to discourage aggressive behaviour and promote peaceful resolution in the war in Ukraine. Merz does not believe in a peace that rewards Russian aggression and potentially encourages further action.
In a bid to ensure success in Anchorage, Merz worked in coordination with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to prepare for the discussion. The hope is that these preparations will lead to a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine, benefiting all parties involved.
