German Chancellor Friedrich Merz believes that US President Donald Trump should discuss the fundamental issue of Ukrainian and European security interests during his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, and he already conveyed this position to the American leader during a conversation on Wednesday.

"In Alaska, the conversation must be about fundamental Ukrainian and European security interests. This was the message that we communicated today with the American president, and we were unanimous in our assessment of the situation and also what goal can be achieved," Merz said at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin on Wednesday.
