🇩🇪 Friedrich Merz, candidate for German Chancellor, said he’s ready to talk to Putin about ending the war in Ukraine, but only under certain conditions.

“If there's a reason and consensus among European and transatlantic partners, then yes,” he noted.

Merz added that he would issue Moscow an ultimatum to halt hostilities within 24 hours; if ignored, he would supply Ukraine with Taurus missiles and permit strikes deep into Russian territory.
