According to the German office of Friedrich Merz, it is currently evident that the meeting between President Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will not take place. Merz said this on Thursday at a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at his summer residence Fort de Brégancon near Marseille. According to AFP, TASR writes about it.
According to Merza, the governments of Germany and France will conduct negotiations on the war in Ukraine “given that the meeting of President Greeny and President Putin will not clearly occur”. The German Chancellor reminded that the meeting will probably not take place despite the fact that Putin and US President Donald Trump have agreed During the phone call last Monday.
Greens have long called on Putin for a joint meeting that would focus on ending the war in Ukraine. Despite the insistence of Trump, Russian diplomacy chief Sergei Lavrov denied last week that there would be any preparation for the negotiations. Merz believes that Putin is deliberately avoided by the meeting of Greeny and his sides is a delay tactic.
