\u201cAnd we hope and assume that the Ukrainian government and President Zelenskiy will be involved in this meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zelenskiy won diplomatic backing from Europe and the NATO alliance on Sunday ahead of a Russia-U.S. summit this week where Kyiv fears Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump may try to dictate terms for ending the 3-1\/2-year war.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot accept that territorial issues are decided between Russia and America over the heads of Europeans and Ukrainians,\u201d Merz said. <\/p>\n
He added that there can be no peace that rewards Russia\u2019s aggressive actions and possibly encourages and emboldens further actions.<\/p>\n
