“The second level on which issues have been very clear, as expressed by President Trump, is that territories belonging to Ukraine can’t be negotiated and can solely be negotiated by the Ukrainian president,” Macron stated.
“There are presently no severe territorial change schemes on the desk.”
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated Trump would prioritise reaching a ceasefire on Friday, including that there was no query of legally recognising Russia’s territorial holdings.
Zelenskyy stated there must be a three-way assembly between himself, Putin and Trump.
Merz stated Ukraine was ready to barter on territorial points, however “authorized recognition of Russian occupation isn’t up for debate”.
“If the US of America now works in the direction of a peace in Ukraine that safeguards European and Ukrainian pursuits, he can rely on our full assist on this endeavour,” Merz stated at a joint press convention with Zelenskyy.
