BERLIN, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Saturday that ending the crisis in Ukraine requires the consent of both Ukraine and its European partners, not major powers.
Speaking at a press conference during the G20 summit in Johannesburg, F. Merz emphasized that the conflict unfolding on the European continent and its outcome concern the security of Europe as a whole.
"Wars cannot be ended by great powers without the countries involved," he said, adding that ending the crisis could "only happen with the unconditional consent of Ukraine."
F. Merz said that foreign policy advisers from Germany, France, Great Britain and EU representatives plan to hold further consultations with representatives of the United States and Ukraine on Sunday in Geneva.
According to him, reliable security guarantees must be created for Ukraine. While acknowledging that there is currently a chance to end the conflict, Merz added that the parties remain far from achieving a mutually satisfactory outcome.
