German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled a series of meetings today, November 21, to discuss a new peace plan with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US leader Donald Trump, according to Bild.
Merz suddenly canceled a series of meetings to hold internal consultations and scheduled telephone talks on the situation in Ukraine.
The German Chancellor asked the head of the Federal Chancellery, Thorsten Frei, to replace him at one of the events.
Merz will hold talks with US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The content of the telephone conversations will be disclosed only with the consent of the interlocutors.
According to Bild, the talks will focus on Trump's 28-point peace plan, which requires Ukraine to make serious concessions.
US peace plan
Over the past month, US Special Representative Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have been working on a peace plan for Ukraine, discussing it with the Russian side.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reviewed the proposals after talks with US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll.
According to media reports, the document has 28 points. The White House has not confirmed or disclosed these points, but says that President Donald Trump supports the plan and considers it acceptable to both sides.
European leaders have already called Trump's plan Ukraine's surrender due to the lack of real concessions from Russia, and are preparing their own version of steps to resolve Russia's war against Ukraine.
More about the US peace plan, its details, and the aggressive schedule can be found in the RBC-Ukraine's report.
