Merz called the truce in Ukraine a condition of negotiations with Russia

A precondition for peace talks with Russia is a truce in Ukraine. This was announced on February 27 by German Chancellor Frindrich Merz at an election event in Volkmarsen.

"There was only one precondition: if we want to talk (about peace. — Ed.), then at least the weapons should be silenced," the German newspaper Tagesspiegel quotes Merz as saying.
