Responding to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's objections to the introduction of foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine, Merz replied that sooner or later he would have to agree to it.
Putin said "no" to many things, but sooner or later he will be forced to say "yes" when it comes to ending this war. We are now talking about the time after the end of this war, and for that time Ukraine needs protection
He also stated what, in his opinion, should be the West's reaction in case of new Russian attacks.
Within the framework of these obligations, for example, a demilitarized zone between the warring parties can be ensured. And to state very specifically: we will also respond to relevant Russian invasions and attacks
Additionally
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, called on Russia to declare a Christmas truce, noting that "the ball is in Russia's court."
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the proposal for a Christmas truce in Ukraine. He added that Moscow is not interested in a temporary cessation of hostilities.
