German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has stated that Western countries are ready to strengthen pressure on Russia, if Russian President Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zeloperski will not take place.
At a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karni, he said that he was Moscow's turn now.
"If the Russian side does not take such a step, it will be necessary to strengthen the pressure," said Message. "For such a case, we are working on new sanctions on the European Union. The President of America Donald Trump, in his turn, did not rule out the new punitive customs duties, "Chancellor said.
Merz also reminded that Trump "offered to hold trilateral talks, that is, negotiations between him, Putin and Zelensky." "In that case, it would be a logical next step," the chancellor said.
