German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Sunday that he, along with the leaders of Great Britain, France and Poland, was aimed at talking to Donald Trump before the call of the president of the United States, Vladimir Putin, on Monday.
Merz said he had discussed the problem with the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, while the two men attended the inaugural Mass of Pope Leo XIV in the Vatican. Merz said he also spoke extensively in the Vatican with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zensky.
“I talked to Marco Rubio, even about the call tomorrow. We agree that we will talk again the four state leaders and the president of the United States in preparation of this conversation (with Putin),” Merz told reporters.
A message from Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We face unprecedented challenges. The Office of the Attorney General of Russia has appointed Moscow Times as an “indifferent” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our previous unfair labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim that our work “discredits the decisions of Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide precise and impartial reports about Russia.
We, the Moscow Times journalists, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly from $2. It is quick to configure and each contribution has a significant impact.
By supporting Moscow’s times, he is defending open and independent journalism against repression. Thanks for being with us.
