German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told G20 leaders in Johannesburg that ending the war in Ukraine requires the consent of Ukraine and European nations. In a statement, Merz urged Russia to cease its offensive and stressed that a cease‑fire can only be achieved if Ukraine agrees and European states support it. He warned that wars cannot be imposed by great powers over the affected people and that the conflict’s outcome would shape Europe’s security. Merz said Germany and the EU are actively involved in diplomatic talks, noting the G20’s discussions on a chance for peace, but that a satisfactory result remains a long way off. He also mentioned a recent call with President Trump to reinforce the position.
