Europe should also take part in peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. This was stated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
According to Pistorius, US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to start negotiations on the end of the war in a telephone conversation.
“If Putin is really seriously determined to join these negotiations, then he must immediately take the necessary actions and stop destroying Ukraine. Based on the experience of the last three years, there may be some doubts about this,” the minister said.
Pistorus said that Europe should also take part in the negotiations.
“It is obvious to me that Europe should participate in the negotiations, and there is no doubt about it,” the head of the department said.
At the same time, Pistorus expressed doubt about how peace negotiations will be held and what their results will be.
“The sad thing is that the Trump administration has made concessions to Putin before the start of negotiations. From my point of view, it would be better to discuss the possible membership of Ukraine in NATO or a possible loss of territories only at the negotiating table,” he said.
