He said that during negotiations with Trump, he emphasized increasing pressure on Moscow, because "only by increasing pressure from Washington will Putin be ready to make concessions."
Russia is stalling for time and, in doing so, is acting against the will of the American president. Today I called for increased pressure on Moscow
In his opinion, Europe needs to join the peace talks that are ongoing between the Russian Federation and Ukraine with the mediation of the United States.
"Trump knows that only peace that Europe supports and legitimizes can be truly lasting. He also knows that Europe's contribution to Ukraine's security, reconstruction, and European integration will simply be indispensable for this peace," Merz summarized.
