‘Tell Putin For Ceasefire’: German Chancellor Merz Vaporizes Trump's Deal In Front of EU Leaders
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is pushing back against Donald Trump’s peace initiative, demanding a Russian ceasefire before any summit with Putin and Zelensky can proceed.
Merz warned that credibility of negotiations depends on Moscow halting attacks, urging European leaders to pressure Putin.
He confirmed discussions with U.S. and EU partners on security guarantees for Ukraine but cautioned Putin’s participation in talks remains uncertain.
While Trump pushes for direct negotiations, Merz insists Europe must play a central role in shaping long-term security arrangements.

Trump’s latest White House showdown sent shockwaves through global diplomacy. Brushing off Zelensky’s urgent demand for a ceasefire, Trump instead clashed head-on with German leader Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron—leaving allies stunned. With fiery exchanges dominating the Oval Office, Trump’s rhetoric appeared to tilt toward Putin’s stance, raising urgent questions: Is U.S. policy shifting away from Ukraine and toward Moscow?

A historic confrontation is unfolding in Washington as President Donald Trump meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, joined by key European leaders including Macron, Merz, Meloni, Starmer, von der Leyen, Stubb, and NATO’s Mark Rutte. This comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he backed a plan for Ukraine to cede Crimea and parts of Donbas, abandon NATO, and accept neutrality. Europe and Kyiv fiercely reject this “surrender deal,” warning it rewards Russian aggression and threatens NATO itself. Trump’s transactional “America First” diplomacy—focused on quick wins and cutting U.S. military spending—clashes directly with Europe’s push for long-term security and continued military aid. As Russia intensifies strikes, Europe views concessions as catastrophic. Tensions inside the White House are boiling: will this meeting end in compromise, or spark a full-scale rift between America and Europe that could reshape global order?

Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, but this time he won’t face him alone. At Zelensky’s request, top European leaders—including Ursula von der Leyen, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Giorgia Meloni, Friedrich Merz, and NATO’s Mark Rutte—will join to shield him from another Oval Office humiliation. February’s chaotic meeting, where Trump and JD Vance mocked Zelensky, left deep scars. Now, Europe’s united front aims to counter Trump’s confrontational style and prevent a repeat embarrassment for Ukraine.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, hesitant after his disastrous last meeting with Trump, will be joined by the new EU Chief for a tense White House visit. Critics claim Zelensky is “too scared” to face Trump alone, while Europe rallies behind Kyiv’s “no land” stance. British PM Keir Starmer, Macron, and Merz offered support, as Trump insists only a direct peace deal can end the war. In a dramatic twist, Melania Trump even appealed to Putin in a letter urging him to think of suffering children.

Putin has reportedly conceded to Donald Trump’s push for an “Article 5-like” pact. a NATO-style guarantee that could allow Washington to retaliate directly if Moscow strikes Ukraine again. The move signals a dramatic shift in U.S.-Russia dynamics, raising questions over whether America would now be bound to act militarily against Russia. As the war drags on and Trump presses his high-stakes diplomacy, the world watches to see if this pact marks the end of Putin’s leverage or the start of an even riskier confrontation.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev unleashed a scathing attack on European leaders after their White House talks with Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky. Medvedev claimed the “anti-Russian warmongering coalition” failed to challenge Trump and instead “surrendered” and “sucked up” to him. He ridiculed Zelensky as “the Kiev clown,” suggesting Ukraine may abandon any guarantees offered. The jibe comes after tense Washington meetings where Trump dismissed European calls for a quick ceasefire, instead signaling flexibility on long-term security structures.

A major rift has erupted in Europe as Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reportedly clashed with French President Emmanuel Macron over the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to Corriere della Sera, Macron pushed for a European deployment, while Meloni sharply opposed the idea, warning that Russia’s massive army made such moves unrealistic. “How many soldiers should we send to match 1.3 million Russians?” she allegedly asked. The confrontation came just before Meloni, Macron, and other leaders joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House for high-stakes talks with Donald Trump following his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin. While Macron continues to float a “coalition of the willing,” Meloni favors NATO-style protections without direct deployment. Germany, Poland, Spain, Romania, and Croatia also reject sending troops, leaving Europe divided as fears grow that NATO boots on the ground could ignite World War III.

The world held its breath as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered his opening statement live from the White House, marking the most dramatic moment of his U.S. visit. Standing alongside Donald Trump and surrounded by Europe’s top leaders, Zelensky’s words carried the weight of a nation at war. With Russian bombs raining down in Donetsk and peace talks hanging by a thread, his address was more than just diplomatic—it was a direct plea for survival, sovereignty, and solidarity. The Ukrainian leader framed the war as a global battle for freedom, warning that concessions to Moscow would only embolden aggression. As Trump hinted at compromises with Putin and European leaders pressed for unity, Zelensky’s statement set the tone for one of the most consequential summits in years.
