Açıklama:

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz calls for a ceasefire in Ukraine before a leaders' summit, contradicting US President Donald Trump's call to work for a peace deal with Russia instead. "I can't imagine that the next meeting would take place without a ceasefire, so let's work on that and let's try to put pressure on Russia," Merz says in an expanded meeting at the White House involving European leaders, Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
