U.S. has offered Ukraine considerable security guarantees, Merz says
BERLIN, Dec 15 (Reuters) - The chance of a real peace process around the Ukraine war is now closer than at any time since Russia's full-scale invasion began in 2022, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, adding that the U.S. had offered "considerable" security guarantees.
"What the U.S. has placed on the table here in Berlin in terms of legal and material guarantees is really considerable," Merz told a joint news conference with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy after hours of talks with U.S. negotiators.
"A territorial settlement remains a key question," he added. "Only the Ukrainian people, the American President, the Ukrainian President, here defending his territory, can give an answer... Only Ukraine can decide about territorial concessions. No ifs or buts."
