The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, expressed support for the idea of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz regarding the establishment of a ceasefire at Christmas. He supports the overall idea of ending the war and any ceasefire.
Zelensky emphasized that establishing an energy ceasefire is normal, and he is ready to support any ceasefire. Supporting the idea of ending the war is important for Ukraine, Europe, and the USA.
According to Bild, the possibility of reaching a peace agreement by Christmas was discussed during negotiations in Berlin. However, the spokesperson for Russian leader Vladimir Putin stated that discussions on a possible 'New Year's ceasefire' in the combat zone are not currently underway.
