Merz drops bombshell at G20: German leader dialed Trump with ominous message on Russia & Ukraine

At the G20 summit in Johannesburg, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz delivered a dramatic message as Europe braces for tense Ukraine war peace consultations. Merz revealed he spoke directly with Donald Trump, warning him that no deal to end the Ukraine war can be imposed “over Kyiv’s head.” Citing Russia’s broken Budapest Memorandum promise, Merz demanded new, ironclad security guarantees for Ukraine — and insisted Europe will not accept any settlement that risks the continent’s stability.
