At a press conference in Berlin on Wednesday, Merz lowered expectations for a quick end to the war in Ukraine.
"There are currently no signs that this war will end quickly," he said.
At the same time, the German Chancellor noted that one can only hope that at least it will be possible to bring the parties to the conflict together for constructive negotiations in the Vatican.
Separately, Merz stressed the importance of Germany's "active, supportive and strong" role in peace efforts.
Reminder

Finnish President Stubb said that negotiations at the technical level on a ceasefire in Ukraine may take place in the Vatican next week.
