Friedrich Merz îi cere lui Putin să accepte un armistițiu energetic după discuțiile cu Zelenski

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has urged Russia to accept an energy ceasefire amid ongoing attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure. This call followed a phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where they discussed the impact of Russian airstrikes on civilian and energy targets. Merz emphasized the need for a ceasefire as a step towards lasting peace, while Zelensky expressed gratitude for Germany's military support. Despite a recent announcement from US President Donald Trump about a potential energy ceasefire agreement, attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities have persisted, raising doubts about Russia's commitment. Zelensky called for increased pressure on Russia from Europe and the US to secure a genuine ceasefire, warning that easing pressure could escalate the conflict further. The two leaders also discussed diplomatic efforts for lasting peace and coordination with European and transatlantic partners.
