“The second level on which issues have been very clear, as expressed by President Trump, is that territories belonging to Ukraine can’t be negotiated and can solely be negotiated by the Ukrainian president,” Macron mentioned.
“There are at the moment no severe territorial alternate schemes on the desk.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz mentioned Trump would prioritise reaching a ceasefire on Friday, including that there was no query of legally recognising Russia’s territorial holdings.
Zelenskyy mentioned there needs to be a three-way assembly between himself, Putin and Trump.
Merz mentioned Ukraine was ready to barter on territorial points, however “authorized recognition of Russian occupation shouldn’t be up for debate”.
“If america of America now works in direction of a peace in Ukraine that safeguards European and Ukrainian pursuits, he can depend on our full help on this endeavour,” Merz mentioned at a joint press convention with Zelenskyy.
