"Ukraine is ready to discuss territorial issues, but the legal recognition of territories occupied by Russia cannot be on the table," said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, APA reports, citing The Telegraph.
The Chancellor emphasized that violence should not be used to alter borders and that the primary topic at the start of negotiations should be a ceasefire.
Merz described Zelensky’s online meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump as constructive.
