German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Friday discussed American proposals for peace in Ukraine with US President Donald Trump after reports of the plans startled Ukraine and its European allies.
“I just discussed the plan for peace for Ukraine with POTUS in a good and confidential phone call,” Merz said in a post on the X social network. “We have agreed on the next steps at the advisors’ level. I will now brief the European partners,” he added.
