Johann Wadephul stated the possibility of Ukraine peace talks before summer. According to his assessment, the situation at the front has reached a stalemate.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul believes that the negotiation process to end Russia's war against Ukraine could begin as early as this summer. According to him, there is currently no decisive advantage for either side on the front lines, which creates the prerequisites for diplomatic efforts.

The head of the German Foreign Ministry stated that the war has effectively reached a stalemate, and the situation on the battlefield does not allow either side to achieve a quick victory.
"There is now a chance, I think, to begin talks this summer,"
At the same time, he suggested that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin might be ready to consider a diplomatic scenario more seriously.
"Perhaps he is already at the stage where he is truly thinking about it," noted the head of German diplomacy.
At the same time, Wadephul did not specify in what format potential negotiations might take place or whether there are currently concrete agreements regarding their organization.
Earlier, Finnish President Alexander Stubb also stated that he sees signs of Russia's readiness for dialogue with Europe regarding the war against Ukraine, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Kyiv is ready for negotiations, but only on the condition of Moscow's genuine interest in ending the war.
