Merz wants Europe in negotiations with Moscow

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized the need for European involvement in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, expressing doubts about Russia's commitment. During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Berlin, Merz highlighted the importance of serious negotiations from Russia, which he currently does not see happening. The next talks are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, involving only Ukrainian and Russian negotiators, mediated by the United States. Zelensky hopes these discussions will lead to a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin but refuses to invite him to Kyiv, citing past aggression as a reason.
